      Yeah it has its benefits, but it kinda disables one of the biggest aspects of human nature. The community, connection, enjoyment from interaction part. We’re supposed to be social animals.

      Yes that aspect is still somewhere there, but it’s so weak and rare that it might as well not exist.

        You just need to find people to be introverted with. It’s an odd concept, but reading a book in the same room as someone else doing the same is great

        Edit: the trouble is finding them. That part sucks

          I wouldn’t say an odd concept, it’s completely normal for me. Rather decent way to spend time, though not specifically reading a book, but whatever alternative each individual prefers.

          But yeah there are way too many people who wouldn’t consider that as spending time together.

        From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

        Joke aside, I’d be fine with that trade-off. I have no great love for human nature. We’re odd creatures, to say the least.
