#4It's pretty obvious being isolated from real social and physical connection with other humans tends to have a severely negative impact on people's mental and physical health.
It's really sad how America has built itself into a lonelier and lonelier society over the past decades.

No, it's not obvious.

That's just your experience.

And wanting explanations (much less doubting them) for the obvious is neither science nor wisdom.

why? because I don't HAVE TO wash the dishes immediately after every f-ing meal?
I'll accept the risks and danger of dying happy over living longer with someone else and being miserable.
It's crap like this article, the propaganda of conformity, that aggrandizes stupidity and servitude over autonomy & freedom that makes me hate humanity. Suck teh dick of society, team up, so you don't have time to think and learn and realize how you're getting screwed by corporatism, government, religion, etc.
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than to be crowded on a velvet cushion. [ Thoreau, "Walden" ]
Here's the truth about living alone vs family...
The family! Home of all social evils, a charitable institution for indolent women, a prison workshop for the slaving breadwinner, and a hell for children. [ August Strindberg ]
SINGLE FOR LIFE
CHILDLESS BY CHOICE
BETTER THAN YOU and your slave mentality
The whole aim of politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins. [ Henry Louis Mencken ]

alone ≠ lonely. SHAME on you for failing to grasp that concept, and imbuing your personal emotional neediness on everyone.
The emotions can be educated and developed, just like your physical body can be developed.
You are praising your emotional immaturity as a virtue instead of the poverty it truly is. The hand you hold is the hand that holds you down.
The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone. [ Ibsen, "The World as Will & Idea" ]

#10Duh is my quick answer. We're social beings, well most of us. we're supposed to talk to each other, laugh, share joys, comfort each other, tease and brag to each other.
IIRC, in prison leaving someone in solitary for an extended time qualifies as torture simply because we're not supposed to be alone. You go nuts
