brain dump of thoughts / stats on humanity: - loneliness : sense of belonging :: individualism : collectivism - aristotle claimed touch was the primary sense - deaths of despair exploded in ‘00 and hasnt slowed down - #1 reason people don’t go to events is because they have “no one to go with”

I think dating “trends” tracks closely with this trend. That chart that shows evolution of how people met during that same period. Most events IRL everyone on their phones anyways talking to their other friends because nobody likes those socially anxious moments, which was exactly the time you could meet people historically. I think if we have more social events that explicitly ban phones it might start to solve this problem.

yes, also lots of brands have pushed to sponsoring events to make it easier to generate user-generated content. those events are focused on connection, but content. we definitely need more human-centered events. you'd love @edgecity!
