i am Sorry that was so much just i am realizing that, not out of some "you whippersnappers are missing out on hell i went through", there are some things in a LOT of areas that by abstracting and smoothing away too much we've really, really fucked up a lot of people in subtle ways
i can't help but think of that study or whatever it was recently pointing out that we really need dangerous playground things so that kids get some critical skills out of having to deal with shit
it's the whole "people just calling you at work or stopping by your desk in an open office" to ask every little question vs looking for any answer for a moment themselves
we are not meant, as a species, to have this much frictionless access to each other or... anything. really.
