The next two sentences clarify why I make this claim: "Courage enables us to uphold other virtues, and it is the defining factor of potential: much of the difference between what your life is and what it could be comes down to your valor in trying moments." Sure, there isn't a "data-based approach here," but maybe you can catch my drift...? > neither is going out to the bar/club/etc looking for a one night stand Agree with this. I could have expanded on it more, but I wanted to limit the piece to dating apps. > none of those apps were optimizing for romance anyway This is the problem: everyone uses them; they take away romance; culture without romance no good. |
