The author makes a lot of fair points I agree with but doesn't go into the positive situations - the change where people may have more ability now to get out of toxic families (or at least distance themselves), questioning how we can move beyond just religious congregations of community (perhaps congregation more around bioregionalism?). Or if awareness of resource limitations in the future may be causing less developed-world birth than earlier.
Finally, to quote David Chapman - ""Just as there are mental states only possible in crowds, there are mental states only possible in privacy."
Loneliness epidemic—or a golden age of privacy?"
The author had a lot of interesting things to say, but I wish they were a lot more open about their biases. It's pretty clear that they are starting from the position that marriage and "traditional" family values are important, and therefore hard to tell whether or not they are glossing over or ignoring conflicting evidence.
