|content=I’d like to ask @benshapiro a difficult question: what happens if free market commerce in the future fails to return sufficient fuel for the unremarkable median worker’s need for family formation? That is a home &amp; marriage in a robust labor market in time for 2 kids. Then what?

|content=@benshapiro @ZanderKelly30 I agree with this but think a lot of the cultural and spiritual problem has to do with people who want families not being able to see a path towards sufficient financial stability. We have to deal more ordinary folks in earlier.

But again, let's do it on the show as you suggest.

|content=@benshapiro Oddly, that’s about where I am: we may need managed markets. I cede to you that many things have gotten better but imagine we both agree that the need for two incomes to do the work previously done by one &amp; the increase in variance in our labor markets are negatives for families?

|content=@benshapiro Partially. Yes. But there is reverse causality also. There aren't that many 27YO breadwinners that can properly support a care-giving co-parent for 10-15 years of kid rearing. Also, the knowledge work traditionally more done by men has gotten more fulfilling relative to kin work.

|content=@benshapiro I don't know. The decoupling of sex from reproduction was a 1960s earthquake and I don't think we will or should go back to marriage before 22 as an expectation. I would think career uncertainty is often a bigger factor than the wage levels we focus on for things like mortgages.

|content=@benshapiro But another question I don't get: why is 'family' not the obvious unit to focus on in an on-going society? Gay or straight, rearing kids is about continuation. Why does family take a back seat to either identity collectives (left) or individuals (right) with secular commentators?

|content=3/ As @ezraklein pointed out for the attack position #KillAllMen dripping with sexism &amp; misandry, the retreat position is “it would be nice if the world sucked less for women”.

|content=What we need is a multi-decade  “labor shortage” in STEM that brings technical employers howling in pain about employee wage demands. Family demands. Maternal demands.
The answer is simple: in STEM the wrong people are in pain. It should be our beloved administrators &amp; employers.

I’ve had enough. I want the top women to breed as much as they want. More STEM families! Cheap STEM must die.

|content=@dashman76 Well, let’s see. Top STEM moms produce a public good which is valuable. Plus, we *forbid* them from gaining IP rights to basic research. It’s a market failure like the army. Whoever pays the army can pay the basic researchers. After all, they pretty much made the modern economy.

And it sucks. It’s almost inedible.

This pattern of suppressed variety is repeated with Orchids. With Pomegranates. With versions of the periodic table in schools. Etc..

B) Quirky and speculative contrarian high leverage science trading at a discount. E.g. Bob Trivers. 

C) Inserting oneself into the academic top tier of MIT and Harvard for future use.
