We also have more room to fail individually today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not proposing that we go back to where western societies were in the 50s, but there are definitely downsides to our current societies that need to be dealt with. Lonely people aren’t just individual people who are having a bad time, they are IMO a huge threat for societal cohesion. e.g. they’re much more likely than non-lonely people to politically radicalize.
