For the past two years or so, I’ve been working remote and have always pushed back against the idea of returning to the office (mainly because the reasons my company gives are bullshit)
But like, I admit that there is something about talking to/interacting with people in person that can’t be replicated by virtual means. My hunch says that it is something hard-wired in humans through hundreds and thousands of years of evolution. We’re animals after all and I’m not sure whether a remote lifestyle is sustainable
I wonder if different neurons fire when speaking with someone in person as opposed to virtually
