I think what he is saying though is that he personally doesn't get a lot out of socializing, and I agree with him at some level. I am not always crazy about big social situations unless I'm with a bunch of people who all click. Otherwise, it seems like the topics of conversation are just "trivia" as Posner puts it. I also am not wild about social situations that are mainly concerned with people "catching up." So I think Posner isn't necessarily saying that spending time with people is worthless but that he'd rather not do it when he doesn't have to.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573358506904053791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6586859.post-1124472368293658562005-08-19T12:26:00.000-05:002005-08-19T12:26:00.000-05:00Very interesing, "socialising with you friends and...Very interesing, "socialising with you friends and family is point less". In my opinion socialising with our family does teach us a lot. What about children that learn how to behave around older people, e.g. their grand parents, or families that take care of each other. From my point of view there is no such thing as a winner when you have to choose between socialising and TV. It merely depends on the settings, do not you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
