...research from experts in neuroscience and social science may give us a clue as to why. Although we tend to think of it as a self-contained emotional state - a condition that affects people individually, either by circumstance or by dint of an antisocial personality - researchers now say that loneliness is more far-reaching than that.

...crowd reportedly consisted of about 100 people, mainly white, with a moderate ratio skew toward males (some things are the same at Harvard and Yale).
