What Happened to Marriage?

This young woman seems to have sadness in her eyes as she asks “do men want to get married anymore?“ I think we all feel how badly relationships have degraded, but no one really understands why. The answers are in the changes we made to what used to work. That’s called “hubris,“ - when you believe that you know better than thousands of years of tradition and that your best guess is going to yield better results. We now live in a state of decay, declining quality of life, and cultural and social collapse, and it’s because we were fooled - once again - into thinking that we could change all the rules to be more convenient and empowering and we wouldn’t lose anything. In reality, laws, culture, technology, and all forms of change to our systems are like a wish made on a monkey’s paw - you might get what you want, but you might not like what it costs. (I tried making my own background music for this. It’ll get better over time)
