The answer is technology was making it so that these communications and the power distances were being closed. You couldn’t do that in the past. Ten to 20 years ago, when they were talking about this world where you really had to set disruptive new businesses outside the core business because the core mothership just was never going to change.

Intimacy offers a way for humans to connect authentically, and our authentic selves should not be limited to experiencing intimacy with a sole romantic partner. Expecting one relationship to fulfill every type of intimacy we crave is the emotional manifestation of putting all of our intimacy eggs in one basket.
