I think I became a convert in the pandemic as it goes. I was also converted to dissensus in the same period.
post-pandemic plus general social trends dematerialisation atomisaiton etc socializing' has started feeling a bit like exercising, like you know its good for you and its great once you get into the swing of it but its also totally possible to avoid entirely and does take a bit of effort. especially for office workers i think this really is the direction of travel now, there's no particular essential need to be around other people.All this static your phone causes you but there's also a lot of static with having to get a train and be amongst people. But I do love it, I went out the other week for a few beers and nothing beats it, bug it feels like a looooong effort.
