I saw Jonathan Haidt's new book on the subject. I havent read it but I expect he's throwing the blame at the feet of social media and mobile devices. In my opinion he's blaming what's holding things together. Humans are social beings and social media gives you a weaker form of social interaction. Whereas in person social interaction is what is necessary. >Data were collected from 2002 to 2020 and only included responses given when participants were between the ages of 45 and 65. Completely useless. Why ruin your research this badly? Why focus on the least impacted age cohorts? Lets consider why we have so much less in person social interaction. If we go back in time to when it wasnt a problem. Where did people get this done? Church, Bar, and smoke breaks. Church attendance is at record lows? I know im not religious, only spiritual. Good ole government is behind this one. Bar? Government has basically ended that in the name of MADD. SMoke breaks? Government basically ended that because of Lung cancer. So basically government came in and "unintentionally???" ended in person social interaction. Now we have a loneliness epidemic and it's going to take 1 sweet talking libertarian to tear the government down.
