You severely underestimate how boring most people are.

I survived the pre-device world and socialized with people. Newspapers were shitty twitter, split into paragraphs on separate pages, without engagement and comments, magazines were expensive versions of the same but with pretty color pictures.

Pre-internet, people had 'areas of interest' so you could maybe learn about something they were passionate about (assuming they weren't wrong). Marriage was the real killer because all you ever got from your spouse what whatever they learned recently (gossip/news)

Now, people are sharing what they read on social media and some learn things all the time.

Most people don't learn.
