I’ve been thinking about isolation not as a single condition, but as something that layers.
Physical, social, digital, financial, ideological—each form can reinforce the others until it becomes less about distance and more about structure.
I wrote about this idea of “stacked isolation,” and how those layers build and harden over time.
