      yes there will always be a range of people's preferences for interaction. just saying the range would shift because of the reduced negative pressure. living under FALGSC would remove a lot of the stress and negative outcomes around interaction

      EDIT: looking back at it now I wish I had said "as much" instead of "that much" which would have made it clearer. people seem to have wanted to interpret it as "never", presumably because they define their identity around their introversion and the idea of it being partly a product of material conditions is threatening for some reason, as if they won't have as many identity-mates or something. folks, we're probably gonna get barbarism instead anyway

        imagining living on an orbital in The Culture, everyone has thousands of hectares of personal space, leisure to relax and recharge, advanced medicine, arbitrary control of their own gender... it's helping the hangover
