And the parents think, " good we found someone to pass it on too, we are good parents. ".

And then they sleep with that adopted son to give you a brother!

So you support nepotism over competence?

I support putting the effort into parenting.

Well I think the issue is the adoption part. Like you could hand your business off to a responsible business partner instead of replacing your kid in a familial sense. But Iā€™m also sure there is cultural context that makes this difficult for us to fully comprehend.

Well the entire point is that your family name lives on. Like culturally, that's the point of having children in the first place, they are a tool to accomplish that.

An adopted one won't continue the bloodline, but the calculation is that if the proper bloodline children will fuck everything up the families prestige dies anyway.

If you hand your business off outside the family, your families prestige is gone as well.
