Just musing today about society in general and wondered if maybe they had it right back when there was communal living? The advantages as I see it are:

Old people and singles wouldn't get lonely
Men would get plenty of male bonding
Woman would get plenty of female bonding
Kids would get a more even upbringing rather than just the thoughts of their parents
Couples could get couple time as there would be plenty of babysitters who knew the children
Kids from one parent households would get access to the time of the gender of adult that they are missing
The responsibilities of taking care of disabled/elderly people would be shared
Shopping/Cooking would take on economies of scale as would travel
there could be skills sharing

disadvantages would be a lack of privacy and autonomy

What do you think - is it time we took life back to olden times? lol

Any other advantages or disadvantages??

razza, which what i said before, so that would be a total disadvantage, besides it would be a bit chilly down there. we have more people so would have to find more and bigger caves.
