Soo, we have had this in finance: "your fiduciary is obligated to have acted in your best interest", a priest is a person you pay to be friends with everyone in the congregation, and so you know we all put a premium on that certain kind of trust, and when the words of reassurance are transcribed and recited by Teddy Ruxpin, many households are likely to follow the invite, whether out of ignorance the Jonesin curious. And it is also a matter too simply whether you will settle for the default, who is somewhat more presentable, in a brighter simpler room, with less tendency to say something that indicates opposition.

Yes, when I see the TV commercials for family members to get paid for caring for their grandparents, I mourn a little bit at the value of culture that is being lost. You're a good person to let yourself feel the full anxiety from your analysis. I try to go back to the past and estimate economic value of priceless commodities such as the virtue of doing these things without being told, without interlocking, and before another could have asked. But economically these are not just emotional or physical needs, they are somehow demands. And real friends cannot be substituted or gained through the acquisition of status. It's like playing an .mp3 of a birdsong from a bird tribe that went extinct or something. And you do have friends, check in with them they are in south Africa you need to make an effort to do what came naturally before lock downs. Idk, you are going to have to explain what this is doing to Gen Z sometime, it's already bad and it's going to lead to a lot of estrangement and complications. Still the people who get mock friends are still real people, real people who probably get used to using people and getting used a lot more than I'll ever understand.
