YES! And despite having similar predilections, I still feel trapped by the prevailing culture. It’s difficult to find kindred spirits and interactions in the corporeal world feel fraught. Interacting with like-minded people on Substack goes only so far.
Interesting orthogonal thought there. Which is, of course, why I read you anyway. I certainly get the sense that there isn't much real meaning or happiness (as ordinary folk like me might recognise such things) in that world.

I feel you, PO. The culture inserts itself between people in the corporeal world. It's divisive like that.
