We fly planes so we can move away from our homes and car dependency has ruined our cities.

communities
- Humans evolved to live in tight knit communities where most everyone knew each other and worked together. Hyper industrialization has compartmentalized the ways in which we live and over-applied metrics to assigning value to us. This is an explanation for the rise of loneliness, alienation from work#, social media, internet communities, and parasocial relationships. While this is, of course, a massive oversimplification, I hope that it’s an interesting thought with an element of truth.
