Well he's interviewed Elon Musk and John Carmack. How do you rate yourself in comparison?

Spot on, though I think it's not just an issue of 'dangerous ideas', it's more an issue of can the layperson think at all for themself. I.e. less 'free speech' and more dark-ageish 'only these are allowed to speak' problem.

You're right, I was thinking US-centric. Here in the US any pizza place you give your name and number to has an account for you, from my experience.

The author's point isn't a good one. You have an "account" regardless. Putting in your name and e-mail is near irrelevant since he indicated it might be reasonable to provide a credit card. Unless he can say, "Large Pizza for Pickup, I have a CC", which is usually the case. The only thing better about calling or app is dependent on when and how you want to pay.

So, from your post you: a) don't know who any of your neighbors are. b) think you're better than those you do attempt to associate with c) don't want any advice on 1) doing things you love (i.e. hobbies) 2) seeking help from mental health professionals 3) meeting new people

no offense, but this seems like a social experiment or fodder for a medium article no one will ever read. Supposing you're genuine, you have a few options: a) get dogs and go do a dog park b) find a magic wand and wave it c) (sorry this is against site guidelines) stop being a loser - and, no, material success has nothing to do with that.
