We need third places again. Having everything at home is bad for us, but doing everything at home is framed and sold to us as the state of the art status quo. Our tendencies to avoid rejection and conflict are being preyed on and encouraged by the Epstein class because it's most convenient for THEM that we rot alone in our houses. Almost everything that's sold as "convenience" is just another way to avoid each other, and here we are.
