It is the cost of entry into a community. - Technology has allowed us to curate our social connections in a way never before seen- but this means we have lost the grit required to engage in the community- those muscles are not flexed - care is predicated on connection, discomfort and presence. - "Every system designed to eliminate inconvenience also eliminates opportunities for spontaneous connection"
