On Family Planning
------------------

Obviously the greatest problem with Socionics is the inequality it will create among people if it becomes mainstream. Somebody could start claiming that it's best to be born to a family so that your parents are duals of different gender so that the parent, whose gender is the same as yours, is your identical. Let us call this assertion "Assertion A".

The problem with Assertion A is that it sounds more persuasive than any other similar assertion. That is to say, Assertion A sounds more persuasive that to assert that it's best for a boy to be his mother's supervisee or a girl to be his dad's conflictor, and so on.

It has also been asserted that fathers don't look as carefully after their offspring if it's not genetically theirs. We don't want this if not all children are raised with their genetical parents. But, on the other hand, it wouldn't be a problem that Assertion A sounds too persuasive if all children would be raised by dual parents so that the same-gendered parent is the child's identical.

However, to state this as a scientific fact would be too annoying. Schools teach things in a manner that is kind of coercive. No child would want to go to school if they were told that there although their parents aren't duals.

Therefore, even though Socionics isn't a religion it would be good to treat Assertion A as something like that as long as it remains obvious that nothing spiritual is intended.
