This is precisely why I don't write op-eds. People think snarky comments are like knitting, soothing to them I hope. Devastating for my mental health though.
I wish you actually addressed the topic at hand, I feel as if technological loneliness is a serious concern for both Seniors and GenZ.
I do not at present have the time to answer every comment thoughtfully, or coherently. I am looking after family members with health issues. I am alone in a foreign country and do not speak the language. It took me the entire weekend to try to write this op-ed.
What you imply is certainly nothing to do with my concerns over this grave trend in society globally. It's a ridiculous thing to ask (the brain study for me is just an afterthought, I agree many studies can be flawed). I actually think your nitpicking is a form of evasion of your actual emotional response to this topic.
I am sorry that you are going through hard times and difficult circumstances. I had no intention of being snide or of attacking you. The brain study jumped out at me as it spoke directly to my own circumstances and temperament. I am an older person, an introvert and neurodiverse. And yes, I knit. I don’t need to make snide comments to sooth me though.
I’m fact I agree with many of your concerns.
I’m still navigating the etiquette of Substack comments. I’m old. I come from the world of Web2.0. I will just apologise and absent myself from your comments. I hope for better things for you.
