PSA: That staunch sense of individualism will not get you anywhere but lonely.

We recommend you give it up in favor of safer practices, including but not limited to:

  • building genuine human connections
  • forming healthy attachments to loved ones
  • becoming entrenched in your local community
  • consistently practicing empathy toward others

and other commitments to a shared, respectful society.

The world can be a terrifying place.

Isolation may be tempting.

By reading this announcement, you have taken an important first step.

It is now up to you to take the next one forward.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
