Oh, the pandemic - that's a great counterpoint you bring up. And I like the distinction you make that the collective experience was quite strange: collective in the aggregate, but profoundly isolating in (individual) practice.

I wonder if the deeply isolated experience of covid actually feeds into and supports the original premise, in its own inverse way.

I feel like there is a certain friction to altering behaviors on a large scale which the pandemic was obviously a significant force for.

I'd be super interested to see some good roadmaps to restore the social fabric that @barry-cotter is chatting about.

There was a neat blog post I read from here a while ago about this couple that began fostering community by introducing a consistent low-friction activity in their neighborhood (in this case morning coffee outside). It was a wholesome read: https://supernuclear.substack.com/p/stoop-coffee-how-a-simpl....
