Perhaps in specific cohorts. Most working class elders throughout history receded into the background once they became too old for manual labor. They weren’t pointing at a Schwab app trying to make us believe some number computed by logic and data structure that’s difficult if not impossible to verify, is the only justification needed for them to buy up all the land.

Many would find it politically expedient to publish the opposite conclusion.

Guess we’ll never know who they might be or what logic they used, since you only posted such a conclusion, no logic for measurement.

Science has nothing to do with numbers and everything to do with the logic used to compute them. You’re sharing numbers and no logic, so who knows if your numbers are meaningful?

This is easy to falsify; lesbian parents exist, how do their kids rank? Study after study has found little difference in outcomes.

Fatherless-ness in those

Various studies have analyzed personality data written by teachers, managers, etc of kids raised by straight parents and kids raised by lesbians. Kids of lesbians self report fewer instances of anxiety to their teachers and other non-parental mentors. Those non-parental mentors register in their teachers notes, or medical notes, similar sentiments; trained professionals see fewer outbursts in kids raises by lesbians.

Personally, will categorize this as “ossified mind parrots memorized social script, film at 11”

What’s most likely is economic instability and too little quality mentorship overall leave people feeling crime is their only option.
