Think of networking as a tool for gaining and clarifying perspective. The broader and more diverse our network, the more likely we will see what is true. We are all relationship deprived because the media acts as an intermediary between us. So, networking puts us in the position of having direct, unmediated relationships where respect, trust, and mutuality can develop. You can see the problem where a family member trusts a media news reader more than they trust you. This is what it is like to live in a simulated world. They are not even aware of this. All the global conflicts are part of this simulation that mediates our relationship to reality. This is why direct experience with people is such critical part of recovering from the effects of this global simulation.
Interesting application of these concepts to the covid situation.
