Whoa! You and I are very similar. I used to love people before the lockdowns and nowadays, everyone is socially awkward. You say “good morning” to someone and they’re scared you’re going to murder them.

And yes. People are in your way more than ever before. People used to move in airports. Now, everyone is a cow in your way. It’s weird.

Also, “A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again” by David Foster Wallace is the GREATEST essay about why cruises are the lowest form of entertainment that our society has concocted.

It has never been easier to be exceptional, given the general lack of effort that has become so damn commonplace. To be a winner in modern society, is to put forth just slightly more effort than the base-level, average fat, sick, and nearly dead members of our fallen world of addicts: smartphones, food, alcohol, etc.

Sometimes I wonder how people managed to get where they are.

I'm glad I played football long enough to understand the importance of spatial awareness. It has saved my life on the road more than a couple of times.

As for communication, it's like talking to a literal brick.

We are toast.
