That's a term that I use, for the type of social structure that most societies have[0]. Bit different from what he's written.

It's not just a problem for young folks. Older folks are having huge problems with loneliness.

I won't speak to how it affects our physical well-being, but it sure does affect our mental well-being, and our mental health can definitely inform our physical health.

I'm always an advocate of engaging in volunteer or nonprofit work. It definitely has its issues, but does wonders for loneliness.

Most of the folks that hang out here, have extremely valuable skills, that could do wonders for NPOs.
