    Getting involved with outreach to the elderly, even for a couple of hours, would be really appreciated, wherever you are.

    We have a system locally where isolated elderly folks are assigned a younger volunteer to collect their groceries and maybe a couple of other errands. It's real easy , I just get my assignee's order when I'm doing my own shopping. Delivery only takes about 15 minutes of socially distant shouting about how it's no trouble :) Some interesting conversations about how unions were back in the day too.

        even then material impact means more than superstructure just look at coal miner and gay/queer solidarity in UK. who knows if enough out group people violate their heuristic they may have to reshape their heuristic.

        Yep. Intergenerational contact has been pretty much removed from a lot of peoples lives. It's a big component of the current polarisation. The brainworms wouldn't be so advanced in so many seniors if we made a deliberate effort to mantain a more regular contact tbh.
