Yeah, I know..."we're all in it together".
How can we all be in it together if there’s social distancing?
Which brings up an interesting observation.
Social distancing ONLY occurs with people you don’t know.
For example. Two or three coworkers go to lunch . The new guidelines are in place with limited occupancy and tables at least 6 feet apart. Yet each of these tables has people sitting down NOT ‘social distancing’.
I’ve been noticing this every where I’ve gone. The social distance only occurs with people you don't know or people outside of your circle.
No one cares that there’s groups with social intimacy that are physically close. But don’t dare cross that line and enter a stranger’s personal space.
Family’s don’t distance, friends don't, co workers don’t etc.
Technically, if social distancing helps control this virus, it would stand to reason that it should apply to all. And all people, if you know them or not, should be apart.
But I think most see through the bullshit and are just playing the game......or........ they truly are fearful of strangers.
Either way this insanity needs to end. People need each other. They need to exposed to other’s outside of their own small trusted echo chamber.
But since the advent of social media there has been much more isolation in general. We’re being trained and conditioned to have superficial relationships with those who think like us but to the detriment of not dealing with people in the real world.
How many are on FB with their FB friends but don’t even know their neighbors??
I fear most will get used to this social conditioning (social distancing) and be totally fine with it.
And you know the old saying..... divide and conquer.
And this ‘pandemic’ is surely being used for that purpose. (Amongst other purposes)
A scary new world is ahead of us if we let it happen
And just take a look at music. Once we all got together in person and wrote, played, or performed some music. Now different musicians in different locations are having ‘virtual jams’ I've seen this with quite a few major artists.
While some will say it’s good that musicians are adapting to the current circumstances and still playing, still, it sets a precedent of musicians not having to be physically together.
Through technology more and more isolation is coming about.
Hmmmm. Just something to think about.
Good on him!
