I don't meet people outside. I have brief, entirely transactional encounters with people when I buy stuff or work. I never see those people again. I don't interact with people in any meaningful way otherwise. Being online isn't the problem. Society is just as isolated and alienating outside as it is inside. Third spaces and places for community socializing have been ruthlessly exterminated across the continent. If you're not an alcoholic or religious there aren't really options to meet and talk with people in face to face.
Nothing? We're powerless atomized consumers swept up by forces far beyond our ability to understand, let alone control. We're about to go in to a series of historic food and energy shortages because a bunch of old men are having a dick measuring contest on another continent. The best anyone can realistically do is live tweet the apocalypse.

So I opened up your hood and what you have right there is some survivorship bias.

well, where do you meet people / under what circumstances?
What do we do to reverse this issue?
