      Look, I didn't even actually say I want to abolish the family unit and raise children in communal creches But the thing is the people who try to make a case for responsible, accountable parenting are always the ones who scare the fuck out of me when talking about it

      My main problem is we don't have super good data on it (that I know of, please send me some). If it works better, then let's get rid of be nuclear family (which is already usually toxic) and implement a new system.

      In what universe would that ever happen? People aren't just going to surrender their children to the state and all attempts have shown that you can't convince large populations of your creche ideal.

      Ah, so we've switched over from the question of what *should* happen to what we can realistically expect to happen Of course I don't realistically expect parents to surrender power -- I don't expect anyone who has power to surrender it without a fight

      I do think that, as a society, the demographic transition and a smaller percentage of our population being parents is both a reflection of increased standards for parents and makes it easier for adults to take a moral stance limiting parental power, as a feedback loop

      I don't think it's so much increased standards for parents as an increase in socially acceptable life choices that don't involve building a traditional family with kids.

      No, it's both It's pretty obvious that one reason people are "intimidated" by having kids today and opt out of it is the perception that if you don't do everything possible to give your kids the best possible life you are a bad person for having them

      Conservatives think this is in itself a social problem and try to push back on it Bryan Caplan's "Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids" was a book that famously took the stance that parents should give themselves a break, that parents are too hard on themselves

      "You've already done the most important thing, you've given the child the gift of existence in the first place As long as you meet your other obligations at a basic level you should view bringing them into the world as a wholly positive thing" I hate this mindset passionately

      I strongly believe that the idea of parenting SHOULD be intimidating, that a parent who falls short of giving their child the best possible childhood IS culpable for doing them a great harm, and therefore far, far fewer people should be parents

          And that this social trend conservatives hate is ultimately a positive thing Not the specter of "The Welfare coming to grab your kids" but "intimidated" parents steadily surrendering authority to experts and institutions who can do a better job than they can

          If only I could be so confident in our experts and institutions. Some of the experts are pretty great, actually, but they are often not the ones our institutions choose to listen to.

          This is the world's biggest possible consent issue IMO At least in a world where contraception is readily available, to steal a living, breathing, thinking being from the void and force it to exist is inherently a choice that is imposed on that being, by its parents

          It's impossible to ask ahead of time, and by the time that being is an adult it probably won't want to reverse the decision But the least you owe that being for that imposition is to make its well-being your number one priority

          It's not a problem of parents. Parents are as they've always been. It's a problem of parents not having a support structure. Grandparents used to be young and active enough to look after grandchildren for days at a time. Families lived in multigenerational homes.

          There already was a concept of a communal upbringing. We made it go away by working people until they are themselves dependent on their kids.
