I am still much less social than I was before the pandemic, and I still wonder it’s effect. We are social animals, and many of us simply do not interact with as many people anymore.

As technology enables communication at great speed and distances, we seem to become more and more detached from the ancient social conventions developed over millennia. Can we adapt to these elements of modern living, with billions of us alive simultaneously, before our biological tribalism collapses the system?

These factors are all interconnected, and I’ve learned during this pandemic that physiology and biology dictates more than we give credit. In reestablishing our communities and constructing a global one, we can unlock much of the impossible.
