Preamble
Society cannot function if common sense claims that meeting new people is “optional” or even discouraged. Within societies that claim friendships as a luxury or a consolation prize for a loss of coupledom, the resulting behaviors are quite unethical, and in a society where meeting people is privatized, organizing to topple the unethical systems becomes increasingly impossible.
Introduction
Society often teaches people that meeting people is optional, but why? Is it possible that meeting people is a necessarily common good for public service and can, ironically, provide greater safety?
