It seems like we went extended family 👉 nuclear family 👉 lonely atomisation

But history isn’t inevitable trends. Any signs community might grow/strengthen in the future?

    Sounds a bit pie-in-the-sky to me.

    yes it is w/o the parts they left out; but it’s still realistic.

    like blood family, chosen family can disintegrate as well; so expect a rotating cast with maybe one or two in-for-life members.

    also it takes A LOT more effort to maintain those relationships with a chosen family; especially as you age.
