xkcdHatGuy - Isolation In Post-modernity

Hey xkcdHatGuy. Here are some of my thoughts on your thoughts in "Isolation in post-modernity".

I am likely wrong about all of this and it's written tersely and impolitely
- So take my thoughts and suggestions with a grain of salt and read between lines
Well said, people being afraid to talk about politics and ideas makes sense
- So only talk about political and societal ideas with friends who would like to do so
Here is one video talking about people's inflexibility on society and policy ideas
- So realize and accept you will face resistance with ideas and being authentic
- Who do we discriminate against the most? - Bite Size Psych

People all find it difficult to make and keep close friends and partners
- So accept and understand you're not the only one with trouble connecting deeply
- Battle Of Someone - Blues Traveler
People don't care about someone's work in general, in your case your ideas on society
- So make work friends and talk with fans who share your interest in debating ideas

People want to be happy and have fun, not talk about ideas or policies for living
- So learn to have personal experiences with friends where you don't talk about work

People do form relationships to get something from someone else, as you said
- So focus on others' interests, likes, wants, and things they want to do or talk about

Being yourself is authentic, but might not make someone likeable, friendly, or popular
- So decide when you want to be yourself, and if or when to try and fit in with people

We feel happiness doing what we want, and being of service and useful for society
- So find a balance between doing things you want and doing things to help others

It's dangerous to try and really connect with someone. It's so special when you can find a person you can be yourself with. - Halt and Catch Fire
