Well, this meanders into other issues. Firstly, it takes two to tango, haha. You might argue that’s also the case IRL. But physical presence early on creates a richer experience. Secondly, we tend to associate screens with dreams. And we forget dreams really fast, don’t we? Because both imaginaries are somewhat out of our direct control. Thirdly, the bonding actions are often consumed virtually and our nervous systems rarely feel the need to bring those connections IRL. The brain gets stimulated and that’s the end of it. Fourthly, we are adapted for survival. Thus, meeting IRL poses all kinds of risks: disappointment, mismatch, disagreement, time, money, energy, etc. I mean, there’s a real reason many people are unhappy with algorithms brokering their connections, from dating to business. Again, in my opinion, the future should be phygital, but that means a whole lot of listening, balancing, and adapting. And ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat, it seems.

Sure, I agree, but isn’t it often just an illusion of connection? If we’d met IRL, the bond would probably feel stronger. More options can mean more opportunities, but also a false sense of abundance and overstimulation. On the other hand, yes, you might romanticize the days pre-AI. Ideally, we’d have the best of both worlds. It is, undoubtedly, a matter of conversion. But that’s just the last stage. I love tech and social media, but a lot of it feels driven by attention more than real connection. Still, I value your virtual presence and thank you for the input :)
