This is totally ad hominem but I'm just going to go for it, because I think you've missed the point of what 'social isolation' is - "Also as a newish (1 year old) father I found talks by Gabor Maté resonated a lot with me." I assume your child (and partner) haven't been 200 miles away for 3 months, inaccessible because taking a train is pseudo-illegal or frowned upon by society at the moment. I assume you've been cuddling them without thinking that every journey, every interaction point, is some 'vector' bullshit. If I'm making the wrong assumptions here, and you're actually watching your child's formative years through a video link, I feel for you, but I can't believe that's the case because there's no way that a normal human would claim that were a superior state of affairs. Come on, man. Please think before posting.
