Reminds me the "The headwinds/tailwinds asymmetry" from Thomas Gilovich. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2016-56495-001 …
"It is fascinating to hear affluent people discuss upward mobility. Seldom do they mention 'family.' Affluent people are so used to having stable families, it doesn’t occur to them what it would be like to go without”

This is so odd. I'm a teacher, and when asked what they can do to help kids, I tell parents "dont get divorced." Peoppe who advocate got intact families get scolded, and told we are denigrating single parents, etc. Everyone knows the family is the smallest viable society.

When pointing out statistical differences in educational attainment and criminality, a present father is one of _the_ deciding factors. Again, people get lambasted for stating the obvious, and advocating for in tact families that deal with inter al issues.
