Unpopular opinion:

To me, most face-to-face encounters could have been a videocall.

Most videocalls could have been audiocalls (then I can be naked in the sauna)

Most audiocalls could have been a voice message on signal (I can listen and respond when I want and listen on 2x)

Most voice messages could have been signal texts or emails

Most emails I don't have to read at all and can just delete them straight away.

That’s not an unpopular opinion, it’s just a sad one.

Flip the script: most face-to-face encounters should be naked in the sauna 🤪

that's a good rule actually

For conducting business, as well as for social engagement, I prefer to meet face to face, at least initially. After that, I agree that most things can be handled by email if they are not important enough to meet face to face again. All the stuff in the the middle is just annoying and a poor use of someone's time.

depends

cypherpunk encounters should not be face to face if possible.

Agree. How do you decide which medium is needed?

if it is a business thing, each has a different price. that usually handles it with combination of Sullivan's Always be the buyer
