I guess. When I was a youth you found authentic conversation by being in the world and meeting an authentic person and having a conversation. If we keep that definition constant then it's precisely as hard to find today as it has always been.

I think you have a blind spot here.

When you were a youth, being in the world and meeting an authentic person didn't have quite as much competition as it does today.

It's like saying you're not concerned about the environmental impact of cars because we can always choose good old reliable walking instead.
