I've finally gotten around to watching some Jordan Peterson, after seeing someone calling for his 'followers' to be shot. This is an eloquent, rational man, and I've seen a lot of strong evidence that his detractors are a bunch of murderous loons.
that's not strictly true, it depends on the strength of custom and whether there's a social safety net

I agree there's a lot of variants on the system, but I think monogamy has been a very common solution, historically speaking.
-
sure, that's the case if you think a trad going "oh, nice society you have here, too bad violent young men are gonna shred it in an orgy of ultraviolence, oh hey weren't these past enforced monogamy societies lovely" is pure description i have a bridge in Brooklyn on sale cheap
-
well yes, but the left (the new left, but they're the dominant left now) is telling me that violent men are going to shred it unless we adopt their policies. So really there's not daylight between the two sides on that issue.
-
frankly i think you have an extremely outdated idea of how much weight the voices you're talking about carry compared to how much they carried precisely two years ago
-
people have been telling me that every year for eight years now. It'll be true eventually, but I'm not sure it is yet. This farrago has a lot longer to run.

it's bizarre to me that that's acceptable to you of course
-
you're doing the thing again, Chaos. When did I say that was particularly acceptable to me? I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.
-
the part where the trads are the good guys now because the left is just so bad
-
well, if things keep going downhill you must logically agree we will eventually get there, unless the trads also maintain and equal velocity of descent. Which is possible I guess.

honestly i kind of feel like i have better things to spend my time on than fine tuning my model of whether constipation or diarrhea is worse
