@FrostyCrits cool!

>follow the hero's journey
I'm sorry you've entirely lost me on how literary structure related to the topic at hand

One must leave the family, find a "trainer" of some sort, be challenged, go through hell, come back out, learn, come out the other side, go home...

This is the essence of growing up, the reason so many "ancient" stories follow that line...

Family should have the goal of nurturing this process. Family must raise children with the goal of removing them from the family, so they can grow, change, then rejoin the family.

Most of the flaws in family comes down to failing to do so.

Literary structures are interestingly form follows function.

The subject of the hero's journey is passive and rejects the initial call. They're found by a mentor

There are a lot of people who are perfectly happy not going on a transformative journey, however most people do want to settle down and start a family, sometimes even before they'd have a chance to start any real "adventure"

I'm not aware of this being statistically disadvantageous. If anything, marrying is a boon, and a marker of later financial success

Who are these figs myth was talking about and what channel was the debate.

@Red Falcor You there man!? Everything alright?

I think hes....

Gone.

💀⚰️

can we try to keep chatting in other chats othe than roll call

Who's this "we"

😜

@Myth Why are we being told in general chat to use non-roll call!?

Everyone should name their sons Adolph so it will stop being edgy; imagine if Hitler's first name was Steven.

Omg Aerosmith is literally lead by a Nazi

@Chet Nick It's a bit harder to have an impact when you throw out the word Steven!

Is it possible to call in if I am on my phone?

yes, but you call from discord.. results may vary

Okay thank you 😊 I might call in if I am not too tired 😄

@JWille You call from Discord. You will miss out this week. You need to really go to the roll call at exactly ten minutes to if you want to get in!

Yeah, I teach today and commute all day so no go

Good to know, I will keep that in mind 😉 Thanks for letting me know 😁

I've got, like, 4 Adolphs and 3 Josefs in my family tree; "Steven" is weirder.

why do values that demonstrate success not proliferate? good question...

How far back can you trace your family tree? 🌱

considering we're only here because our ancestors did something right, whatever that may be

17th century on some branches. Then it gets muddy.

ah shit @JWille, I'm not even a son of the revolution. Polish and irish immigrants, and on one side a great great grandfather fought against the revolution. I'm somewhat proud. Monarchies are kind of dope.

Depends on the monarchy.

uhhh the stuarts 😄

I say this in jest

Ohhh....well, then...

I will say that the dissolution of ancestry is a problem for modern society in general

especially for anglos, who seem to care much less than other heritages

Blond is such a boomer

My father's side was French Hugonauts who fought on the British side in the early wars in New England against the perfidious French Catholics after the Dragonades. My mother was born in Yugoslavia; her ancestors fought Muslims, then Commies, then Nazis, then Commies...
