The Core Family?

There is one problem with liberalism in an information rich environment. If you have a societal construction of a system of people with a leader and a system commando formation where all information available in the system is gathered and is available to the people. There will also be authoritative people on most subjects around for counsel.

What happens is that the average family with its average parents will not be authoritative in their own core family. The system commando will. The children will lose faith in their parents and will start to treat them as servants. The core family will break up. What the children gain is information but what they will lose are their parent relations. Potentially also their sibling relations. Order in school decreases as the teacher has problems staying authoritative. A child with a coach can beat the teacher in class.

First, I would like to argue that Wikipedia and blogs are combating this scenario. They are evening the score for people not organized as above in environments with dense broad band availability.

Second, is the core family worth fighting for or should society build on different relations instead? Does such relations exist even in theory? Relations to mentors. In the not so distant future to a computer.

Third, there seems to be a market for information about individuals that systems buy and then use to moralize a person. This kind of practice destroys all relations and leave the individual with a relation to the people having this information. I have called them Human Destruction Inc. In my experience there is a lot of false information on this market.

Fourth, where does these systems fit in politically in Sweden. Depending on the tolerance to free will in each system it is probable to find them on both sides of the middle. You probably find the law of Jante mostly working the edges of the spectrum with most freedom in the middle. If anything has disappeared among socialism and liberalism it is the former. Entrepreneurism is legio today. We see this clearly on the dwindling numbers of socialists in Sweden and in Germany currently. Unfortunately some of these defectors go to the left for obscure reasons.
