I remember Kurt Vonnegut's slogan. "Lonesome no more!" The idea was that loneliness is the cause of human suffering, so to eliminate suffering, one can eliminate loneliness. He was proposing (not seriously, natch) big artificial families that everyone would belong to, whether they liked it or not. You wouldn't have to like the other Chipmunks, but, like or dislike, they're your family and you're not alone.

I forget which novel that was in. Probably more than one -- he liked recycling stuff from one book to another.
