"just like walking to the fridge isn’t a leg workout, texting someone isn’t the same as training your social muscles" - that line put a smile on my face.
Hey Rik, I really like how you use the workout analogy to train ourselves to be more socially adept. Social atrophy is indeed a real thing, and we can indeed get it back one intentional rep at a time.
Thanks Larry, I appreciate you commenting on this (an other essays). I specifically like the 'taking the stairs' and '10.000' steps types of analogies (as in, we can just fit those in our existing conversational lives. But of course, there are also gyms to be found for this (courses/communities etc.). I mean to provide those as well in future offerings ;)
