"Hello Mr. Grizzly bear, please let me elucidate my many logical reasons you should not try to eat me."
I've run a number of open source projects over the years.
Let me tell you how I organized stuff with the other contributors: I didn't. There were no other contributors. My projects weren't popular, and it's possible I'm the only one who used them.
There are a lot of people who have created projects like mine. And if we're being honest, part of the reason is I'm not very talented as a developer and my project didn't really scratch an itch people had, and I didn't put much work into advertising them.
So if someone else was more talented, produced a project people liked, and put the work into building their audience, why wouldn't that person whose talent, judgement, and hard work created the thing get to choose how the project is run? It's a sort of entitlement thinking that I should have a say in how something I couldn't create and didn't create should be run -- I had an equal chance to anyone else to create something cool and I blew it.
That isn't to say that every open source project shall or should be run like a dictatorship. Rather, it's to say that people who want to swoop in and implement "democratic control" of something after the fact are being unreasonable.

One of the very long term effects of the Northern European style nuclear family structure where the eldest son isn't guaranteed to get the inheritance is that people are constantly moving and so you're going to have the least amount of inbreeding possible for a population. To make it and become worthy of starting a nuclear family, men will leave their households, their neighborhoods, their cities, their provinces, even their countries, and start up new families, and so there's the highest likelihood for two people who start a nuclear family to be unrelated.
The worst family structure for inbreeding would be endogenous clan structure (multi family household and cousin marriage is allowed), since you're going to be part of a family that has been there for a long time and you'll be interacting with other families who have been there a long time. This would include orthodox Jewish civilization as well as Muslim civilization. Inbreeding starts immediately, and by design. Royalty is similar to this as well.
The next worst would be exogenous clan structure (multi family household and cousin marriage is not allowed) since you would be trying not to marry your cousins, but you'd still be tied to the local geography and so a few generations down the line you'd be mixing bloodlines whether you like it or not.
One important thing is that the world today only tends to think about one goal at a time, and the world isn't so simple. Inbreeding is one thing to be aware of, as well as levels of innovation and general economic prosperity (people point out the higher inherent wealth in sharing a household, but by staying where family is instead of going where opportunity lives, overall family wealth will improve), societal stability and others.

It took me a while to realize what you meant and when it hit I laughed out loud and confused everyone.
It's definitely the anthropologic fallacy at work, and it's much easier to anthropomorphize an ai when it can form a sentence, which is typically a skill we associate with humanity and human intelligence.

I might be wrong, but based on the first chapter, Tolkien writes way longer chapters than many authors so far. Pretty sure it was over an hour to read that chapter out loud.
The thing is, whether you have a multi-generational home is extremely cultural, and so you have lots of different cultures that do that but many don't.
One of the reasons that many cultures have the multi-generational home is that there are obviously benefits to it, including being able to aggregate wealth, but it also has some negative sides such as aggregating a lot of power in the hands of whichever family member happens to own the house, a lack of flexibility since individuals are tied to their extended family.

Quite a while back I just started referring to the dollar store as the dollars store, because anything that you buy is going to be several dollars.
In the 1990s, almost every little girl that you talk to wanted to become a marine biologist.
Which makes it really funny that those girls are now grown up and they hate fish so much that men showing fish in profile pictures on dating sites is banned.

I figured I would illegally immigrate and vote in the federal election for Trump. I've heard Democrats love it when illegal immigrants vote.
Now you may end up getting beaten up 45 times, slapped 50 times, have the cops called on you two times and have a YouTube video canceling you two times.
But once in 100 tries, you get to touch boobs.

That's pretty funny, it appears that Baltimore has had over 300 gang-related murders in one year. 23 Baltimore schools have 0 students proficient in math. 77% of high school graduates read at an elementary school level, some at a kindergarten level. 65% of children in Baltimore live in single parent households, which are overwhelmingly likely to lead to overwhelmingly worse outcomes for boys and girls including membership in gangs.
But no, it's the guns.
The doctor who wrote this must be the sort of butcher who would prescribe cocaine for someone lacking energy instead of solving the problem of vitamin deficiency.

I bet if Morgan Spurlock knew how it was all going to turn out he'd have eaten a lot more McDonalds.
