by spreading out generations, we get less overlap. knowing your great grandparent from 0-7 is completely different that knowing them from 0-14, or more.
like how the roman’s made armor out of laminating papyrus, its the tight layers that provide strength, overlapping generations, getting most exposure to all that elder wisdom should not be brushed off as a meh opportunity. especially when we think of that as a cultural phenomenon.
interesting thinking about “when” is best, but I know we are in complete agreement on the what and why. 🫡
