Interdependence and Institutions in Society

The concept of interdependence emphasizes reliance on others in the local community, fostering friendships and connections. It is interconnected with institutions like schools, where individuals depend on them for learning, sometimes to an excessive level. This reliance on institutions often leads to a lack of dependence on fellow community members. The discussion also touches on the idea of tools for conviviality, highlighting a trend towards reliance on services, products, and algorithms rather than on human connections.
