  1. Heute Abend gibt es mal wieder von mir einen Blogbeitrag (Lesezeit ca. 3 Min.) - es geht um Einsamkeit und Freundschaften.

    Anlass dafür war ein interessantes YouTube Video der Soziologin Jen, die sich mit dem Phänomen beschäftigt, dass vor allem Leute in ihren Zwanzigern stark mit Einsamkeit zu kämpfen haben.

    Hier der Blogbeitrag, das Video habe ich darin verlinkt: amalia-zeichnerin.net/ueber-ei

  6. The Viking Funeral and the Us of Us

    On the last Saturday of August 2019, in a valley that had already lost the assembly plant and the regional medical center, the daily newspaper of Mahoning County, Ohio, printed its final edition. The Vindicator was a hundred and fifty years old. It had celebrated its sesquicentennial the week before it died. The announcement had come on June 28, in a letter signed by the publisher and the general manager, members of the family that had owned the paper since 1887, and the record of the letter is exact about the cause: the paper was hemorrhaging money, the family had looked for a buyer, and there was none. The letter's close is in the record too. "It is with broken hearts that we say goodbye and a final thank you." […]

  9. Was in Asien als Tang Ping oder bai lan bekannt ist äußert sich im Westen als loneliness epidemic.

    Menschen glauben nicht mehr daran daß es möglich ist oder das es erreichbar ist durch Anstrengung glück und Zufriedenheit zu erhalten.

    In Asien führt das dazu das nur das nötigste gemacht wird und Karriere weniger wichtig ist.
    Im Westen verliert Karriere auch an Bedeutung aber vor allem erkennt man es an der Vereinzelung und Vereinsamung weil im Westen das schaffen und Leisten der große Konsens war.
    Ohne Konsens keine Gemeinschaft.

  10. i feel like, too often, all the advice we give/receive for dealing with our struggles is based in uncritical acceptance of social atomization as a fact of life, a law of the universe.

  24. Well-connected and still lonely. The irony…


    We are the most well‑connected population in history. Connection today is seen through various means — phone calls, text messages, social media, followers, engaging with content, sharing our thoughts, and discussions. Technological advancement has truly made the world a “village” and has undoubtedly made our lives easier in terms of reach and connection.

    Social media has become a powerful tool for such connections. Many people have thousands of subscribers and followers, while some have gained millions. Most things have become digital, if not all.

    Yet, despite being well‑connected, there is an irony. Does being well‑connected mean being satisfied and happy? Does it mean that the population who are most connected today are also the most fulfilled? The reality is different: despite this connectivity, a huge number of people feel lonely. Solitude seems to be at its peak today.

    Is this a situational shift, or a deeper cultural change? Many people prefer to stay alone and avoid groups — even Gen Z is part of this trend. Are we moving toward a scenario where, despite the highest population numbers, loneliness will also be at its maximum? Isn’t that ironic?

    What can be the possible reasons for this shift. People are part of the crowd and the rat race, yet solitude is increasing. Are we moving towards a solitude society? Or the society is no more reliable for in-person friendship, relationship or discussion?

    Or the society is reliable for loneliness and solitude?

    It may be just a question… But requires discussion to find the genuine answer.

    Share your thoughts. Happy reading!
