Only now do I realize what absolute paradise my 80s childhood was.
Zero supervision, I could go wherever I want.
No need to organize anything, go to any playground and there's armies of friends (and foes). No way to communicate other than to simply show up.
No wealth to flex, less tech and toys. Far more physical play where you make your world and adventures by making it up.
A socially coherent authority where parents, neighborhoods, teachers where not at odds with each other, instead they aligned to correct your shitty behavior, which is good and needed.
Nothing about it is recorded. Nothing. Like it didn't happen.
Not a care in the world about larger issues in life. We didn't know about anything, or care about anything. Mental health? Never heard of it, what's that?
