My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

The nuclear family must be the building block central to any culture. Too central a concern for a species that takes 15+ years to mature and is almost helplessly weak until 10 years have passed.
The extended family is more questionable. Their are advantages, but without a larger polity trumping the extended family, you end up with amoral familailism/tribalism.

Strong families mean less criminality in the youth, less burden on the state in welfare, greater individual performance and contribution to the state by the offspring.
The degeneration of the african american population can IMO be rather convinceingly attributed to a trend of a lack of father figures in the average family unit.

Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
