What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.

- Kurt Vonnegut.

He believed it was a cultural issue because kids no longer
maintained relationships with their parents. (Hard to take the high ground since he moved from Indiana to NH to NY.)

He once said that you could become wealthy if you have a solution. Instead, we have faux solutions (websites - Match, Eharmony).

They are selling a relationship with one person as the
solution. KV wanted people to be in relationships with many people as the solution. Community.

So, we get posting about the continual search, or trying to fix an erroring simulation of the movie image.

I think the solution is friendship.
