Every year Stanford University’s Longevity Project holds a conference of leaders in the field of aging that is available to all on Zoom.  I admit  that I didn’t watch every day, but below are my important takeaways.

  1. Ageism is not just directed to older people, but can occur at all ages.
  2. Some progress is being made in bringing diverse ages together for the benefit of all, but we have a long way to go.
  3. Solutions? Focus on things that bring the generations together.  Perhaps easier said than done, but efforts are being made.

This conference offers hope for a future with less ageism.  We’re not going to solve this quickly, but it’s good to know that

People are working on it.

    As an 88-year old who is active in an ILR with friends who are a generation younger, I’ve noticed that many people are influenced by what was current thinking when they were a few years either side of twenty. The ‘sixties generation is still more progressive politically than those who either a decade older or a decade younger.
