The nuclear family stands as civilization's foundational pillar, yet we've watched it crumble before our eyes through decades of well-intentioned but catastrophically misguided social policies. Uncle Herbie pulls no punches in this thought-provoking exploration of how sexual ethics have collapsed in Western society and why restoring them matters more than any other political issue we face today.
Through a careful examination of four key factors – the birth control pill, no-fault divorce, modern feminism, and the welfare state – we witness how dramatically family structures have transformed since 1960. The statistics are sobering: from 80% of Black children born into two-parent families to just 20% today, with similar trends across all communities. These aren't just numbers; they represent real consequences in crime rates, addiction, homelessness, and generational poverty.
What makes this perspective uniquely valuable is that it doesn't stem from religious fundamentalism but rather from practical observation of cause and effect. As an agnostic with Stoic philosophical leanings, Uncle Herbie focuses on measurable outcomes rather than dogma. The evidence supports his central premise: children fare better in two-parent households, period.
The solutions proposed challenge conventional progressive thinking but warrant serious consideration – phasing out welfare programs that incentivize single parenthood, ending no-fault divorce when children are involved, and restoring cultural value to motherhood and family. Particularly poignant is the reminder that those adorable elderly couples still holding hands after 60 years of marriage didn't have perfect, argument-free relationships – they simply weathered life's storms together.
