Re-Connecting Souls: Navigating Loneliness to Community
I lost my best friend and I said hello to the love of my life. I lost the spark that I had on my toes. And I said hello to a more thought for me. I lost hope in the world and I said hello to all the spirits around me I never saw before. We become lonely when we accept the loss and stop saying hello.
Hello. My name is Lane and this is the connection Lane. Why are we all so lonely? The evolution of human culture is one that's based on survival stuff. We don't want to die. Throughout most of the timeline, people have bonded over that survival. Now that survival has gone throughout most of human history. People are hunting for food. They're drinking water from their own land, and they're living in structures that they had some part in building.
This is why survival video games are so alluring. It's human nature to want to provide for yourself. It makes you feel happy, accomplished, and more importantly, it makes you rely on others. That community, that's where culture innovates and religion are all constructed. With all of that gone, we're left alone. Our phones, they keep us barely holding on. Because just think, if everyone's phones exploded, we'd all be itching for the next cultural event.
We'd be looking to get communal again. We're used to our lives because our phones can maintain us that way. But it's not real. Our community, our culture was packaged into a small device and sold back to us and we bought it up, all of us. Perhaps this is just a consequence of technological evolution because inevitably we're going to have to release technology to the public that we don't really understand what the effects are going to be ten, 20 years down the line.
We've had these phones for ten, 20 years, and look where it's gotten us. We don't see this because no one thinks they're an alcoholic. If everyone's drinking all day, if everyone has their phone constantly by their side and everyone freaks out when they lose their phone for more than one second, we're all going to think that phones are just a part of being human.
But they're not. They're just a part of what we become. So what's the illusion of connection here? As an editor, I see the raw footage to all the people that you look up to. I've learned how superficial this has become and the impact it has on people. We aspire to be content creators, twitch streamers, and universally loved by thousands of people that are going to go watch us as soon as we go live.
Why? Because the affection and adoration of a thousand people online equates to roughly one person actually caring about you in real life. Before I met my cosmic lover, I was at the whims of everyone's opinion. If everyone didn't like me, no one liked me. When you understand yourself enough to fall in love, you understand that everyone can go off.
Not a thousand online people. A million online people I love is real. I don't have to prove anything from the second I open my eyes. Now compare this to all the content creators and streamers that I've worked with out of the 50 or so clients I've had that have big followings. Most of them, not all of them. Most of them have to generate fake reactions of joy.
They talk about their viewers as a means to an end. They are constantly fighting for the most shallow form of attention. They are rewarded and praised for being the best and fighting for shallow forms of attention. It gets them a thousand people. It gets them a million people to follow them online, but it gives them zero people that actually get about them.
