i mean, this myth of the tribal life being nasty, brutish and short is the result of us bringing diseases, to which they have no resistance, from the old world to the new. viktor 0rban but can i come back to the potential contradictions? you were best friends with a man from borneo who was a hunter gatherer in the forest, who i believe has just died, but that man changed his life because of the contact with you. i mean, i understand that you were emailing with him not so long ago. not something that he would have done in his hunter gatherer culture. so, again, it seems he embraced change when your message to many of these peoples around the world is that we shouldn t change you, you should entirely retain the identity, character and culture you had before any contact. no, that s oversimplification. they should change at their own

right. women continue to shoulder the majority of the childcare burdens. and that s even if they re working full time. i think it s noteworthy that all of the parents i interviewed for this piece were mothers. there s still the people who are charged with figuring all this stuff out. if you think about the education system, that s seen as a public good. you know, you may take 15 minutes to sign up and boom, you have a spot in the public school system. that s an oversimplification, but really it s a lot easier. childcare s not like that at all. it s really a marketplace of a bunch of small businesses operating and in competition with each other, and because it s not seen as a public good it hasn t really gotten that infusion of public dollars. and therefore, women end up having to contend with all these barriers and figure out the childcare. and that s obviously one thing that joe biden s trying to get through when it comes to reconciliation bill is help when it comes to childcare.
