Dis introduction and social ritual in modern life
A discussion on the social burden of introductions and the wish for a form of disintroduction to reduce constant recognition. The piece notes civilization trends toward broader acquaintance, the impracticality of strict civility, and proposes a future etiquette to ease social friction. It includes reflections on celebrity manners and the role of ladies in shaping social norms.
