    WHAT IF WE ARE RETURNING TO MOST MEN AND WOMEN LIVING SEPARATE LIVES – AND DURABLE MARRIAGE IS LIMITED TO UPPER CLASSES AGAIN?
    Men and women living shared lives is not the norm in human history. It’s a product of agrarianism – and we’re a post-agrarian civilization. In the not-too-distant past men spent most of their time with men, and women with women. The irish only stopped serial marriage in the 1800s. The jews only in the 1500s. There are still populations in east asia where men visit at night and otherwise stay with their families. Today, in africa, there are still groups where men and women live in different buildings.
    There is no longer a need for marriage for a woman to maintain self sufficiency. Even for her to have a child. There is no longer an incentive other than affection and sex for many people to maintain long term relationships.
    So was farming an unnatural aberration and are we returning to hunter gatherer and early agrarian relationships?
    On the other hand given the collapse of reproduction among such people, and less so among the traditional nuclear family, and even less so among the traditional extended family group, are we going to breed out those people from the polity? (It’s happening already).
    My point here is that marriage is an extraordinary advantage for SOME – where the family is of higher value than individual freedom in its absence. But it is not for others. And moreover, if we restore liability for interference in a marriage, end child support, alimony, and common property leaving costs to the custodial parent, then incentives will do their work, the malincentives for divorce – largely to the detriment of men and children – will be suppressed again. The consequences would include a suppression of marriage for those unfit for it, and a preservation of marriage for those fit for it. And the resulting eugenic consequences of that policy.

  • Greek mythology traces back to the Indo-European migrations from the Eurasian st

    Greek mythology traces back to the Indo-European migrations from the Eurasian steppes and is a subject of scholarly debate, but it provides an interesting perspective on the origins of Greek myths:

    Indo-European Roots: The Proto-Indo-Europeans, who are believed to have lived on the Pontic-Caspian steppe around 4500-2500 BCE, are thought to have had a common set of myths and religious beliefs. These early beliefs might include themes like the sky father (similar to Zeus), the dawn goddess (akin to Eos in Greek mythology), and stories about a world tree or cosmic battles.
    Migration and Cultural Exchange: When Indo-European speakers migrated into Europe, including into what would become Greece, they likely brought with them some of these myths, which then mingled with local pre-Indo-European narratives. This is where theories like the “Kurgan hypothesis” come in, suggesting that Indo-European languages and accompanying cultural elements, including myths, spread through migrations.
    Evidence from Comparative Mythology: Scholars like Georges Dumézil have looked at the structural similarities between myths across Indo-European cultures (from India to Ireland) to argue for a common mythological heritage. For instance, the myth of a storm god battling a serpent or dragon, seen in Zeus vs. Typhon or Indra vs. Vritra, might reflect this shared heritage.
    Greek-Specific Adaptations: Even if some mythological themes were brought by Indo-European migrations, they were significantly adapted and expanded upon in Greece. The Greek gods, while perhaps sharing roots with other Indo-European deities, developed distinctly Greek characteristics, roles, and mythologies influenced by local cultures, including the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations.

  • I would argue instead that for the first thousand years europeans tried and fail

    I would argue instead that for the first thousand years europeans tried and failed, because it was a catastrophe or ignorance – and the consequence around 1200 that began with the restoration of classical thought, restoration of trade by the hansa, led to the gradual decline of the christian superstition and the gradual restoration of the classical european tradition of which we are participants today. And there is merely a lag in our restoring the rituals and training that taught the classical tradition because the marxists used the window of opportunity to try a revision of abrahamic religion this time as pseudoscience.
    The western world world needs training in personal stoicism civic religion and nature and hero ‘celebration’ (debt, worship). That’s our natural religion.

    RE: –“Studies that argue females decide like they did when they were 18 while males evolve their decision-making.”– @WerrellBradley

    The research underscores the importance of understanding these gender differences in decision-making processes. While females may maintain a consistent approach reflective of their earlier years, males tend to evolve their strategies over time.

    Recognizing these patterns can enhance workplace dynamics and improve organizational outcomes by leveraging the strengths associated with each gender’s decision-making style.Recent studies have examined gender differences in decision-making, highlighting distinct patterns between males and females.

    One significant finding is that females tend to make decisions similarly to how they did in their youth, particularly at around 18 years of age. In contrast, males exhibit a more evolutionary approach to decision-making, adapting their styles over time.

    Key Findings

    Decision-Making Styles:.
    Females often rely on intuitive and collaborative decision-making styles, which are consistent throughout their lives. Research indicates that women are more likely to consult with others and make decisions in groups, reflecting a tendency towards interdependence and relational dynamics.

    Males, conversely, are characterized by a more individualistic and rational approach, often making decisions independently and displaying higher levels of confidence in their choices. This tendency can lead to a greater willingness to take risks and pursue long-term benefits.

    Evolution of Decision-Making:.
    As men age, they tend to refine their decision-making processes, becoming more strategic and adaptive based on past experiences. This evolution is attributed to a combination of psychological factors and social expectations that encourage men to develop their decision-making abilities over time.

    In contrast, women’s decision-making remains relatively stable, influenced by emotional sensitivity and risk-avoidance behaviors that persist from adolescence into adulthood.

    Influence of Hormonal Changes:.
    Women’s decision-making can be affected by hormonal fluctuations throughout their menstrual cycles, leading to variations in mood and focus that may impact their consistency in decision-making.
    This contrasts with men, who generally experience fewer hormonal changes over their lifespan, contributing to a more stable decision-making profile.

    Conclusion

    The research underscores the importance of understanding these gender differences in decision-making processes. While females may maintain a consistent approach reflective of their earlier years, males tend to evolve their strategies over time. Recognizing these patterns can enhance workplace dynamics and improve organizational outcomes by leveraging the strengths associated with each gender’s decision-making style.
