What "special status"? It simply is how the world is, as we've seen over all of history.
Yes some marriages end in divorce and families disconnect in some cases, with various outcomes. The family still exists even if no-one participates in it. The guy is being overworked and unable to see his kids, I'm all for that guy seeing his kids. It can have huge knock on effects if it's ignored. You aren't forced to participate in family.
Family is built from natural impulses, biological connections and installs in the children an inheritance of values, schooling and relationships. There are reasons from first principles for families and the surrounding neighbourhood, city and country benefits from families. You can't hand-wave away the meaning of family as 'power' and 'arbitrary'.
- jseban 4y ago> What "special status"? It simply is how the world is, as we've seen over all of history. And we are trying to move into the future, not the past. Are nuclear families really so important and successful that we need more of it? Is this really an undebatable absolute truth that should be forced on people? Let people decide on their own if they want to spend their new found free time on families or something else. Edit: the "special status" is loyalty, and loyalty is bad if we are trying to live in a meritocracy.
