Was/are pair bonds *only* an economic solution? Were they *simply* the equivalent to having two incomes? Could the norm of *commitment* in pair bonding not have served emotional needs, despite incidental or possibly transient disagreements or difficulties?
-
i mean, i definitely think it did, but that the needs served must have been served asymmetrically or increased egalitarianism wouldn't be so destructive to it if a behavior fulfills everybody's needs that well people will figure out to do it even without a gun to their heads

Here we come back around to the social pressure. Instead of olde timey religious and political leaders scolding people to conform we have impossibly fit, smart, wealthy, confident cool kids FOMOing everyone else into aping their daring ways
-
yeah, that is a dynamic at play... honestly feels like less of a problem to me, the cycle of trying to be like the apex cool kids, getting burned and calming the hell down seems to be mostly working from where i'm standing? is your view different?

Seeing the world through the portholes of LA, NY and SF probably does not give a representative sampling, so you may be right.
