As I've aged I've tempered some of my liberal views a bit.

I've realized I'm more of a social libertarian. Let people find their way to live, the state shouldn't step in and try to micromanage. If they want to sell their bodies, so be it. If they want to find a traditional marriage, so be it. People are different and not everyone has the same answer.

That being said, I've grown to appreciate the actual benefits to the traditional ways of living. The biggest corporations in the world want to eliminate the nuclear family not for moral reasons, but because it means there's way more people working and they can cut everyone's wages. If they can convince everyone that households are supposed to be 2 income, then they don't need to pay people enough to support a family. Then their buddies in the childcare industry can make a bunch of money raising everyone's kids.

In the past few months I've started seeing the Matrix. I was a useful idiot to the megacorps who want to destroy our culture in order to make more money.

Think about it: The idea that every beautiful woman instead of doing any sort of things is now selling nudes on onlyfans.... The megacorps win. Onlyfans takes their 30%, all sort of companies take their piece in terms of the equipment purchased and the services required, and all at a cost of that young woman's future.

Remember the woman who was training to be a mechanic and she had to give up that noble career for her onlyfans? You realize there's life after 30, right?

I totally agree with you. I may have moral and ethical qualms with consenting, fair prostitution (no extorting pimps or companies), but there is little that can be done if no one is getting hurt and if there are no children involved. It's not like abortion, where you are harming innocent life. You are just getting paid for sex. It's, to me, the most animalistic thing we as humans need to deal with. We are animals, but we should really be able to focus on more than just making good cash or getting a good lay.

For some reason we're obsessed with the next dopamine stimulant. Humans love our rewards and Westerners live in a society where that is embraced. Instead of pushing for learning and yearning for more, it's just a hustle for the majority to get to the next "O" point.

It's definitely a big part of human psychology.

The nuclear family is a very important thing. Big corporations want singles so they can squeeze them even better. It took me till 2016 to realize this. Now i am a fan of a classical family in the following sense: I do the main part of "work" and she works part time at max until we built our house and we get kids. In exchange she does the main lifting in our household. When we get kids (we're planning to get four) she stays at home and i will do less work so our kids actually can see me at least for some hours each day. We will then turn down our lifestyle cost in favour for the kids to actually have both time to educate them. Maybe we will even switch so that she works full-time then. But that seems kinda hard because sadly my business needs constant attention.

But it is hard to find a even halfway reasonable and intelligent young woman these days that agrees to this. So i consider myself very lucky because we got a big difference in age.

I agree. There are fewer and fewer women who 1. Aren't socialite followers and, 2. Know how to support themselves/loved ones. There are lots of tough, smart women who can support themselves and can help their loved ones with careful reason. But there are very few who aren't socialite followers, in my limited experience.

Exactly. And sadly these girls seem to exist only as certain character types ( e.g. this: https://saidit.net/s/Psychology/comments/6469/introduction_mediator_infp_personality/ ) and usually hide them themselves very good in most social contexts. I searched 4 years for mine. :)

They do exist, they are just struggling to 1. Be themselves and 2. Find others like them. I know you know how it feels to wade in a sea of meager minds and fearful hearts.
