Thank you Glenn for these discussions. I was born in Bay Area and not Eastern Europe in later 1960’s only because of family migration decisions decades prior. Yes, USA is exceptional.

On benefit of 2-parent households: I am a gay man and I strongly support the 2-parent model. Not an expert, not my field of study, but off the top of my head - I imagine numerous dimensions within the behavioral category that would be compelling. The lack of curiosity and complete silence of entire institutions on the benefit of 2-parent model is interesting. Perhaps my colleagues are traumatized by the specter of abuse within the home, and generalizing across broader society.

While appreciative of the Glenn-Brianha discussion, it should be in addition to, not in place of the professional and methodical, structured hierarchical discussions that institutions refuse to engage in. Any courtroom judge can attest to methodical process of discussion to determine if John Doe robbed a bank. I have watched with my own eyes as numerous institutions and organizations have intentionally refused a professional and methodical discourse that would guarantee the due process of information at each step - since 2017. We must reinstate due process at the institutions.

I write this because many of Briahna’s speculative statements are equally echoed within institutions without the necessary exploration.
