@alea_eth Alone Together ~ Sherry Turkle ©2011
The warnings about "Social" actually came on pretty fast for anyone who remembers Web1. It was all over the news.
Accelerating social activity by way of silicon was never a recommendable thing to do.
And now it even says so in the DSM-V.

For everyone who doesn’t consider community as a utility:
Loneliness is a real problem.
• More than 50% of people feel lonely - this is higher among 15-24 yo
• We’re spending more time alone, less with others
• The number of people with less than 3 close friends has doubled since 1990
• Roughly 10% have no friends at all
This affects our mental & physical health:
Social isolation’s effects on mortality are equivalent to smoking up to 15 cigarettes every day.
On the other hand:
The number one predictor of a happy life is good social connections.
Not money, not fame, not status. But relationships.
Rooting for everyone trying to fix loneliness.
This is the killer utility of many communities.

Just had a chat with my former boss. He asked me to help build their web3 consulting services.
Being early on something and not shutting up about it is worth it.
Not just on socials but also your personal network.
I have become the go-to person for all things web3 among my friends & acquaintances - because I’m the only one that gets it. And cares about it.
Received many opportunities this way.
This is how you build your edge.
Become the go-to person for something.
And opportunities will come your way.
