## What Jamie wrote

Context matters, and when everything starts happening in the same context we lose those cues to help our brains navigate it all.

> This means of social participation has had an effect of Emotional Compression where all emotions are squeezed from the outer extremes down to the middle, which has given the perception of recalibrating what emotions are being felt during any given event. A 90-minute quarterly all-hands event at work and a funeral eulogy are viewed from the same window and it can be difficult to remember where you are physically, virtually, and mentally.

I have found that while the tools are the same you can get context by changing location. I have three different places at home that I use for Zoom, and they are very specifically bound to context.
