Why do you measure your worth by productivity instead of connections?
Because the capitalist-realist notion that value==utility is deeply entrenched in our society. It takes real effort to see things any differently.
Thank you. Truly.
I also wish some humans stop treating aging like it's a deadly threat. (No seriously, some people are that scared of becoming old.)

bsj38381 : ".. some people are that scared of becoming old."
Speaking as somebody who many would consider "old", I have to say that there's quite a lot to be scared of. Can't do much about it and, of course, we all aspire to being old one day -- the alternative being what it is.
But, still, it's not got much going for it, and a lot against it.

Aging is ... eventually ... deadly. It's what you do before you grow old and die that matters
The alternative to aging is even worse.

@stack : That's certainly what I tell myself every time I spend two hours looking for my spectacles, and then find I'm wearing them.

@lars_the_bear I do the same thing with my TV's remote 😃
it takes me 1-2 minutes to realize it is in my hand
