THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GRANDMA

Before the 1950s, she was an authority in the household, calling BS on new trends & keeping the fam in check.
She was the dam that blocked the flow of seed oils, fake meat & junk

Without Grandma's authority, the household no longer has any way of passing down ancestral wisdom.
There's no longer a check on seductive, but soul crushing new technology.

The Grandma would have been the first to call BS on seed oils, fake meat, Tik Tok...
It's no coincidence that those have all risen the more we've destroyed the nuclear family.

We must bring back the nuclear family and the grandma as a repository of ancestral wisdom.
