    local bubbles are a thing. just because things are that way for you, doesn’t mean that they are that way for everybody. i’ve met a few unfortunate people in my life, who were just screwed over by the world around them.

      I didn’t mean to imply anything to the contrary of what you’re saying. I’m just reminded of the Simpsons episode where Smithers says

      If Mr. Burns ever wants to see a stranger, he will observe him through a powerful telescope.

      People are hidden from each other in plain sight.

        Yeah, good point. I’m often surprised how different the life circumstances and personal views and opinions of two people can be, who sit very close to one another on a bus or public transport. It’s often incredible how much cultural diversity and diversity in life experiences there exists in a society.
