The past year for me has been really lonely. The loneliness has caused me to revise a lot of priors. 

And also has given me a ton of contempt for technologists who have it all figured out and talk about lonely people as if we are animals to study in a lab. “What should we do for them” “We can’t allow them to have AI friends” “Maybe you just need a roommate”

Ironically—leave us alone!

Loneliness can be transformative, sparking introspection and reshaping perspectives. Contempt for those who dehumanize the lonely is valid; solitude is not a problem to be solved
