Episode: What Changes Will Stick When the Pandemic Is Gone? | No Stupid Questions | Episode 55

That is a very interesting point, and I think Robert Putnam, the sociologist who well before the pandemic worried about this as a trend in the United States, most famously wrote the book Bowling Alone, which is exactly what you're not prescribing.
In this segment, the book 'Bowling Alone' by Robert Putnam is referenced while discussing the issues surrounding polarization and diminished social interaction. Host Stephen Dubner uses Putnam's insights to illustrate how people have shifted from bowling in leagues to bowling alone, creating a negative feedback loop that decreases social engagement. The mention follows Angela Duckworth's suggestion of group bowling as a remedy for the decline in social activities, highlighting the importance of communal experiences.
