That's a good point and one that I wonder about. We're conducting a novel experiment on society with recent changes (and the social connection technologies that I speak of leaving) and we're doing it all to ourselves.

I don't know if it's good that it's *possible* for us to be so cut off from the world.

Quite my concern. I might think ah, a majority of solitude at last. But I might be wrong that this is a good idea.

It's so hard to suss out which things that we want are actually good for us. I ate potato chips for breakfast yesterday because I wasn't really thinking about it and I wanted them, and yet I am sure my long-term wellbeing would have been better served by something else.

At least with *leaving* the social connection technologies you can squint at the past for potential adjustments that might be useful to make in concert.
