This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When did I say a third of the world's population doesn't have a society?

Society changes over time. It's been a long, long time before multiple generations lived with each other, permanently. It's been the norm, that sometime between a person's early to mid twenties they leave the nest.

This implicitly discounts that at least 1/3 of the world's population that currently live in exactly that model of society exist, or they just don't count because they don't have a society, your pick.

I was referring to my own society. Also, that's not me saying what you claimed I said. That's your interpretation of my statement. Huge difference.

A third of the world's population is approximately 2.7 billion. While possible, I doubt the number of multigenerational households is that high. Though I would be interested to read any material you may have on the subject. Espein comparrison to twenty years ago due to the skyrocketing costs of apartments/houses.
