The problem with your leisure theory is that as soon as people begin to largely satisfy a common need throughout society, like hunger or housing or heat or internet, then they turn to some new scarce resource and say,” hey that guys got a space ship. Why dont I gotta space ship!”

We are never satisfied and alway competing because its evolution. Look at “poor” people today. Driving nice cars and spending $1000 a month on hair weaves and fake nails. And spring break in Miami Beach. They’re poor because they have less than some other people.

I think we just have to end all divorce except for extreme cases of abuse. Let people separate if they want. No divorce. No shacking up with someone else. Put people in jail for adultery. We used to do it before. Here me out

Divorce and out of wedlock sex amount to the same thing, polygamy. Polygamy breeds for certain traits in men and women. Higher violence, higher disparity of wealth, lower status of women, lower economic prosperity. All these traits begin to be favored genetically within a population who practices polygamy over many generations. You see these traits in many totally unrelated populations that practice polygamy. When high status males with agressive strategies can hoard more than one female, they propagate agressive genes.

Monogamy was system that some groups adopted but not others. It leads to higher male co-operation, lower male on male violence, more attentive fathers, etc. These behaviors become genetic.

If you like the way European men generally behave— e.g. Lower violence, less rape, chivalry, jobs, etc.— realize it was bred into them through a monogamous regime over thousands of years and the longer europeans live in the current polygamous regime, the less europeans will act like europeans. Weve got to go back to strict monogamy imo.

Women evolved to do a job. That job is birthing and raising children. They are not doing it as much anymore, and when they are doing it, they are doing a crappier job of it. We are now essentially letting the public schools raise children instead of moms, and it is resulting in bad people.

Nobody is saying lock women up in the house. Im saying most women in society need to return to the duty of birthing and raising kids. This is reaching crisis level proportions.

We dont need more bureaucrats. Most women are just working in the bureacracy anyway in bs jobs. We dont need more social workers, or school administrators or councillors, or clerical workers. We need parents to raise kids.

We like to think we have a lot of choice in this stuff but its all pre-programmed through evolution. Understand how the mechanisms of evolution work and you can engineer a better society, or at least the society you think is better. I dont really like rape, violence, and corruption, but thats my bias.
