> Humans need real human connection

Right. Ask any pickup artist, or any Aspie who has learned how to mask, how "real" or "deep" human connections are.

Hint: they aren't. The ridiculous concept of "connection" is superficial communication that has been enhanced by our own brains by seratonin and dopamine such that we are able to pretend it's meaningful.

Right, because the kind of connections we want and need in life is those that you would get from a pickup artist, not from a loyal friend and an affectionate spouse. /s
