A contrarian opinion to this narrative of loneliness:
While the American dream has likely contributed to the epidemic of loneliness, it has also introduced many more options for reversing the trend:
- Large amount of wealth and high level of safety to make it easier to raise families
- High mobility and communication technology allows for individuals to easily group together, while more easily maintaining distant relationships
- Many foster care and adoption options for those who cannot or do not wish to have biological children
Additionally, all of our freedom allows us to solve the loneliness epidemic is a highly humanitarian manner, such as through foster care and adoption, and freedom to form families.
