    I do like this idea; I don’t know how that is done in a systemic way. I remember one point of Moore’s Bowling for Columbine is that there seem to be a dwindling amount of “third places” and that civic engagement (fraternal orders and so on) has gone off a cliff - and Columbine was a decade before the smart phone.

    I doubt things like civic engagement have gone up since.

      Kind of amazing that the ‘there are no more third spaces’ cry has been going on for decades now completely unheeded.
