I wonder if I, an addict and lover of everquest, would be happier in a world where we talked about everquest type things and we just herded goats.

I dunno, I haven’t really studied it, but I personally believe that completely relationship-less lives are not quite as healthy as ones with relationships. Once again, it’s fighting our programming and evolutionary biology, as a species we survive by forming mated pairs and family units
Our brain reinforces it to us with oxytocin, a happy chemical produced when we feel an intimate touch. This is why FWB relationships are so hard for so many people. Because oxytocin is also a bonding chemical. It is there to reinforce that intimate touch good, bond good, this person good, to ensure the survival of our species. And the more frequently those people touch, generally the stronger the bond gets
This is why all of sudden strong emotions can start coming out in FWB relationships. Your brain is programmed to bond you
