Rob Henderson's article about luxury beliefs among the upper class has a lot of the same ideas about the cringey-ness of the rich, and the inventions of "technologies" that their decadence affords them.
For some reason it seems obvious that the ideal primary care takers for a child are its mother and father because they will be biologically motivated to care and love for their offspring. Don't all cultures take for granted the idea of a mother and father as core archetypes? So is it right to think of this configuration as one option of among many? Or one that, by and large, is most biologically and evolutionarily successful?
Maybe what would be a good corrective, are families existing in close knit, multigenerational tribes rather than the isolated nuclear family that modern society seems to incentivize.
