This is a sad trend for people and society. It’s been proven for many years now: building a committed relationship with one person and then raising children in that nuclear two-parent family contributes more to creating healthy, happy adults and a well functioning society than anything else (ie wealth vs poverty, health history, zip code, race). So the implication of the trend below, if it doesn’t self correct are terrible for society as a whole: 1) there will be more and more promiscuity and, as a byproduct, less kids born 2) what few kids we do have will grow up in non two parent households It may seem “fun” and “free” to be a 20/30 something with a roster, but many of these folks will wake up alone, too late to act on the simple truth that being in a committed relationship and having kids is not an indulgence of a thriving society but a requirement.
@chamath Building a family as a man in your 20s is the greatest feeling of pride and responsibility and meaning and purpose and love ever.
@mitchelldwilson @chamath Amen brother, families give men purpose
