Aristotle writes about three different kinds of friendship in the Nicomachean Ethics. It's not uncommon to hear talks about friendship, and how of the three kinds, the best/truest kind of friendship needs to be focused on. We even have some episodes about that very thing. 

But what Joseph noticed recently is that we're suffering not just from a lack of virtuous/true friends. We're suffering, too, from a singular lack of all three kinds of friends. In our overly-technologized society, where we'd rather watch other people have pleasant lives than do so ourselves, we actually need a return of the useful and the pleasant friendships, too.
