    As socialists, I don’t think the goal should ever be to discourage people from interacting with one another

    100% disagree with this perspective, but I suppose that's why we differ.

      Isn't social interaction the only way to build solidarity? Everyone deserves some alone time don't get me wrong, but I think the bigger issue today is too much of that.

        Social interaction is based on mutual consent. The type of people who want a robot AI waifu are likely to be the type of people who cause issues for others.

        It's like when a certain type of person - usually a middle aged man - complains about people being "antisocial" when they're "on their phones on social media". Nah dude, they aren't antisocial, they don't want to socialize with you.

          Yeah this just isn't true. Old men complaining about their kids using their phone too much is not the crux of the issue. A large amount of people feeling disconnected from their communities and it causes them real pain. It's not that everyone is happy and choosing to keep to themselves.

      Interesting! I know this is a complicated question, but what does socialism look like without social interaction? I'm not trying to put you on the defensive, I'm just having a hard time grasping the concept.
