Digital connections on Discord or in virtual worlds can't meet our deep need for in-person bonds. Humans evolved for face-to-face tribes and gossip. Online relationships build trust but lack the fidelity that makes real connection work.

When you're talking to someone in Discord, it's not real connection. It's not filling your need. Since the beginning of time is connection with others. We form tribes, we use gossip, we connect. And that's something that all people need to be happy and satisfied. And so that becomes very hard to fulfill in an online relationship. Yes, you can definitely build trust, but there's just fidelity missing. And maybe the metaverse gets so good that that can be replicated. But as of now, even if you go and you hang out in a virtual world for 3 hours with your friends, it is just not the same.
