There was a point in I think the 12th century where it would have been possible for someone to read every book in the world during their lifetime. At any point after that, you don't need more, there are enough amazing things to leave any life fulfilled.

Being able to connect with people who have your niche hobbies is great, but when people only do that through the comfort and coldness of a screen, you get a lot less friction that could lead to new ideas and broading of horizons, as well as less connected, interpersonal relationships.

The conversion of physical third places into digital, algorithmitized hellscapes, I feel, is an underlying problem with modern society.
