RE: Are we losing ourselves | forgetting how to be human

in #dtube5 years ago

Well, first we need to know what a human is before we can be that thing.

And to be fair, people are much more fragile than the where three decades ago. Most people do not have emergency funds. If something breaks, they cannot handle it. We also have a lot more easily breakable stuff.

You know, that good old dining room table that i used to pound leather on... well, now there is this sheik glass table. The previous table wouldn't care if you put another scratch in it. The new table couldn't survive a scratch.

But it isn't just this, we don't have the constraints any more.
We made friends with the local kids or not at all. There was no other choice.

Today, most intellectual friends are on-line, and not in the real world at all.

Fortunately, in the future, we are going to start migrating back to our clans, our tribes our families (large multi-generational group that may or may not be blood related)

Yes! I love the idea of the big old wooden table. I also agree with the clans and tribes. I think that is real, and will be out of necessity.
