I can’t find it right now, but Leah Libresco posted on Unequally Yoked lately about how she hypothesizes that her life would be richer from having a larger demographic catchment as part of her regular social life/circle. In between that, your above comment, and the idea that ‘life experience’ can be tabooed as ‘epic procedural knowledge gaps between you and your elders’, I’m pondering “why aren’t we getting more of the older generations to join effective altruism??”.
I don’t actually want effective altruism to have an implicit ageism bias, and if it does, I hope this thread results is some proposals for resolving it.
