Sorry, I should have said developing or third-world. That's probably a lot of the world, though.

There are many countries in the same state as the US. I would argue that they have been trapped into the same mindset of modern fallacies, warped values that lead to an existential impasse.

I also don't see anything wrong with children helping to run a family business. It's a great learning experience. My family that live on farms and the kids helped out as they grew up are some of the most productive and capable adults I know.

See my note on the Amish, below. I think it's an interesting example that challenges the "We can't afford children narrative."

Thanks for the good talk 🤙
