isnt that the core social unit the family? without family what do you have? no means to reproduce

2018-02-14 18:30:49 UTC  

in healthy fashion

2018-02-14 18:30:50 UTC  

At the end of the day, one must focus on their direct family however if you only consider that you're going to end up with a bugman society.

2018-02-14 18:31:01 UTC  

ok I feel ya

2018-02-14 18:31:01 UTC  

Maybe the nucleus should be the nation? And of us the protons / electrons idk

2018-02-14 18:31:11 UTC  

ah

2018-02-14 18:31:51 UTC  

The main point is not that husband, wife and kids is bad. The point is that if you only focus on your own family, we will lose the fellowship of the nation

2018-02-14 18:32:36 UTC  

It's explained well in Action! 4

2018-02-14 18:32:37 UTC  

People are using the idea of the Nuclear family as, move away from your family for a better job, get married, have children and disconnect from your familial foundation.

2018-02-14 18:32:54 UTC  

That's not how it was intended

2018-02-14 18:33:03 UTC  
2018-02-14 18:33:07 UTC  

maybe that's how its been twisted in modernity

2018-02-14 18:33:30 UTC  

It's an idea that was promoted in the mid 20th century.

2018-02-14 18:33:40 UTC  

In the 50s, "nuclear families" still had close ties to their other generations and their communities

2018-02-14 18:33:55 UTC  

also...remember that we have such greater freedom of movement and opportunies thx to massive advances in technology

2018-02-14 18:33:57 UTC  

Goto school, go to college, get a better job and move away from your family

2018-02-14 18:34:11 UTC  

so we can easily physically disconnect from our blood family

2018-02-14 18:34:19 UTC  

which in the past was not the case

2018-02-14 18:34:26 UTC  

thereby we lose that bond

2018-02-14 18:34:34 UTC  

which cannot be replaced by skype and internet

2018-02-14 18:34:41 UTC  

We MUST start SHAMING these ruinous concepts of family!

2018-02-14 18:34:47 UTC  

(((Skypes)))

2018-02-14 18:35:46 UTC  

the concept of going to college to get a better job is solid. just b/c your dad was a farmer and his dad and so on doesn't mean you have to be.

2018-02-14 18:35:55 UTC  

you can do better or different

2018-02-14 18:35:57 UTC  

Capitalism, us doing so well finiancially has enabled us to disconnect from a evolutionary pattern our ancestors have followed for millennia.

2018-02-14 18:36:24 UTC  

yes the pursuit of wealth has clouded that pattern

2018-02-14 18:36:33 UTC  

You should stay a farmer I believe

2018-02-14 18:36:41 UTC  

If you don't, who else?

2018-02-14 18:36:57 UTC  

Eventually that kind of thinking will get no farms

2018-02-14 18:37:19 UTC  

technology will advent robot farms...but i just used that an example

2018-02-14 18:37:41 UTC  

modern day fact is that we have much more freedom to move up social ladder

2018-02-14 18:37:56 UTC  

if we want to

2018-02-14 18:38:08 UTC  

in the process I think ppl can lose sight of their roots

2018-02-14 18:38:15 UTC  

Indeed

2018-02-14 18:38:17 UTC  

i want my kid to be 100% better than me and so on

2018-02-14 18:38:20 UTC  

nothing wrong with that

2018-02-14 18:38:29 UTC  

People DO lose sight of their roots.

2018-02-14 18:38:39 UTC  

The majority do.

2018-02-14 18:38:44 UTC  

does

2018-02-14 18:38:46 UTC  

whatever

2018-02-14 18:38:47 UTC  

lol
