No one online seems to want to talk at all. People in my age seem to lose the ability to talk.

What happens if we all forget how to have a deep or entertaining conversations?

    Far too often, “deep talk” online devolves into an ideological slugfest. What has become rare is Listening and Empathizing. Asking a question that illustrates a certain perspective becomes a debate point and then a bitter disagreement. It’s civility that’s in decline. IMO.

      those things require reciprocity.

      and that’s the rub, everyone wants it but nobody is willing to give it freely.

      i used to have cool convos online and irl with people, but those dates disappeared with the rise of social media.
