Warren mentioned today that he'd heard a piece on PRI about loneliness. The piece included a study that found Americans had an average of three what they called "confidantes" 25 years ago, and today have zero. This, he noted, in spite of the internet, email, and social networks.
Walking toward downtown Berkeley from northside of campus, I mused on a related topic. When I was in my 20s, the conversations seemed so packed. They seemed meaningful. Today they just seem like a bunch of bullshit. That's why I largely avoid the phone: With most people, there's not much at all to say.
Did life change, or did I?
