I prefer smart wool, but am totally on board with nice merino wool socks from any brand. Happy feet have helped me maintain a happy life. It’s like a good pillow or the right jacket for today’s weather for me.
Totally agree on the boardgame suggestion if it suits their personality. You need to know what complexity they are into, first.
While camping, I noticed that if you look long enough at almost any star, you start seeing some tiny, subtle colors in that star. Even crazier, they sometimes flicker between more colors. In my case orange, blue and something like cyan....
You can only get this effect in the center of your visual field due to the organization of your retina where you have color vision. The rest of your eye is much more sensitive to light so you can see dim stars more easily in your periphery by looking away from them a bit. Maybe you can use your own biology to help enjoy the night sky even more! If you get a friend, you can use colored pen caps and get them to hold them in your periphery and tell them what color it is. You don’t be able to until they reach the color vision part of your visual field if you stay looking forward.
It’s trippy, but your brain fills in color for you a lot of the time.

But evolution ended up giving us two external tubes to breathe. My conclusion is that its better to have redundancy in external tubes openings for air.
So, to avoid the efficiency of a branch that lets us eat and breathe from our mouths would you make it so we can’t breathe from our mouths and we still have 2 tubes to breathe as redundancy? If so, where would you place the extra tube opening? Head or further away? Toe or back would help act as a snorkel, I’d think.

Your analogy and argument is very well organized so I wonder how you think universal basic income could mitigate the negative impacts of generational wealth/poverty? In my mind, it is part of a solution to many social issues but I’m still learning. I know there are arguments that capitalism will just buffer against any implementation but I’m still forming my opinions.
Another part in my mind would be estate taxes. If generational wealth wasn’t as impactful on our lives then UBI could serve a bigger purpose. If the playing field were more level for everyone, then hate or fear couldn’t errode it as easily. It’s not something we can see in a lifetime, but I hope that I can see us aiming at a useful target while I am still around.
