| >A nation that lacks interpersonal relationships is a lower-trust society, more prone to crime and unrest. That seems to unfortunately track. No bonds, less to lose by lashing out. A Mexican idiom comes to mind: El Que Tranza, No Avanza ("he who doesn't cheat, doesn't get ahead") So when you dehumanize your fellow man, life is just a rat race and you don't care who you step over to succeed. Not really a nation make. >The reasons aren’t clear, but it may be that colleges have become more of a social experience than an educational one over the last few decades Well I guess that's the part that reminds me this is still the NY post. It's an odd conclusion to come to when they report that friendships merely declined less than Hgih School students, not remained steady. It's not surprising that an environment of young adults with newfound freedom would form closer bonds than those on high school forced together with a rigid 5 class schedule that has much less control. College students can schedule entire days off, or no morning classes, skip a class with minumum fuss. That means more potential time to socialize outside of the weekends or 4-7pm on weekends. >Last year one study found a full 25% of young adults “believe that AI has the potential to replace real-life romantic relationships.” Well that's just depressing. Are a significant portion of the population really going to try to replace human bonds with AI too? We were supposed to reject the notion of Her (2018) and realize the human element can't be automated. Not follow it like a blueprint. |
You got the exact opposite of what that means. Unless you forgot to negate Tranza.
"El que NO Tranza, NO avanza"
