Thanks to JT, I listen to the occasional "Art of Manliness" podcast. Most recently, the topic was aloneness vs. loneliness. The guest on the show talked about our inner circle of family, and "the tribe", which might include people we only know over the internet but with whom we have shared interests, be it a football team or a hobby. In the middle is "the village", and that's where he says we are forgetting how to interact. Our neighbors, or the people in our town, are no longer people we regularly chat with over tea or dinner, so we don't really know them. Instead, neighbors end up making spiteful comments about each other on social media, jumping to conclusions without knowing the full story. I've seen that happen on NextDoor. It was a very interesting discussion.
