Fast forward several hundred years and we're at the point now where we're really good at saying what doesn't work but very, very bad about saying what does work and what we do want because by saying what we do want means that we have to put forth some sort of meta-narrative, some thread, some official future that we can hang ourselves on.

We have to be future conscious. But again, this goes back to the transgenerational component. We have to critically assess where we came from and why we're at this point. So let's talk about the nuclear family. The idea that your children would be, quote unquote, sleep trained and put into another room is relatively new.

That's from the Victorian era, right, where you would put your kids in another room. Because if you go back to most indigenous cultures, everyone slept together. And this happened for thousands of years. In a big pile? Yeah. Or in one big room or in a longhouse. Like piglets? I don't know if they were like piglets, but they definitely all slept together.

And look, everyone can – look, I'm going to say this in a nonjudgmental way, but it's going to sound very judgmental. I walk down the street sometimes and I see kids in strollers being pushed by a seemingly healthy adult, right?

But if you look at most cultures around the world for thousands of years, what they did was they wore their babies for what we call the fourth trimester, usually the mother.

Well, the baby Bjorn, you put the baby on front of you, but it's facing out. When you really wrap them with like a 20-yard wrap, it's skin to skin, right? And look, and there's a reason, like everything, there's a reason for everything.
