      Excellent. I don't know if Amy Wax is right or not but she should certainly be able to make such an argument w/out all this palaver.https://twitter.com/JonHaidt/status/904073055655342080 …

      I am wary of 'marriage for societal health' arguments on two counts. 1) Hard to tell causation from correlation. 2) What can be done abt it?

      If having 2 parents who are married correlates with success in life, is this caused by marriage itself or is this a correlation?

      Is the cause a tendency to commit to things forever and the symptoms both long-lasting marriages and career progression?

      If social pressure to marry for life existed, would that change people's mentality across the scale & make them more committed generally?

      Also, even if we confirm that life-long marriages are truly beneficial to societal health, what would this indicate we should do about this?

      Make it beneficial to marry & difficult to divorce or have children if single? I'd be very wary of doing anything like this.

      I think we need to think in terms of the individual and not overall statistical trends when it comes to freedom and rights & opportunities.

          As someone who has never married, I can attest the decision is not entirely left up to the individual

          Even assuming Gen 2:18 "it is not good for man to be alone" is objectively true, it doesn't mean other available options aren't worse.

          Is it possible 2 weigh both against benefits 4 desired social outcome? In US we're stuck w/ so-called freedom & it jst benefits the powerful
