I know what you expect but this article isn’t about that subject (read my other posts for context). I’ve had a bone to pick with one of my college buddies who casually considered humans to be resources just like any other resource to be used for the advancement of businessmen and politicians in order to create new products, processes, and societies. I’m sure he’s changed since then but I’ve always felt that friends were not to be used per se because using friends costs you what makes friends so awesome.
But there is something friends could be doing and that is putting like minded friends from different circles together. In this way, the new to each other friends have reason to believe there is in-group potential. That can lead to quicker report, the use of colorful jokes that are taken exactly as jokes and mutual friends can be used to translate mysterious communication elements.
There is a world full of interesting people. All of us our being inundated by people that we don’t click with so it wears down our interest in meeting brand new people just to not click with. But I’m still looking to meet new personalities. So let’s round up the friends we can make on our own, get some networks going across the world, and maybe we can put all the right people in touch with each other the personal way. And maybe that’ll work out.
