Rebuilding Real Connection: A Think Tank on Social Media & Human Isolation

Social media promised to connect us but many would argue it’s left us lonelier than ever. In this session, we’ll collaboratively explore the root causes of digital disconnection and ask:

• How did “connection” become so fragmented?
• What’s the cost of constant digital presence on real human intimacy?
• And most importantly, what could we build instead?

We’ll break into small groups and brainstorm practical solutions; tools, platforms, community models, or even cultural shifts that could restore meaning to the way we relate to one another.

Whether you’re a builder, a deep thinker, or just someone who’s tired of doomscrolling, this meetup is for you.
