st can't find men, the kind of men they want to marry because the kind of men they can find are just they're not killing it? What happens then? I don't know but some of this could happen. Somebody's complaining that I made his penis obsolete. Sorry yeah. And so I think that there is definitely a big shift going on. I think the women are becoming men and the men are becoming women. And I mean that…
← Previous segment →entage of the total I think it will continue to decrease. I'm not saying that's good. I'm not saying I want it to happen. I'm just saying that it looks like that's an obvious trend.
And here's the problem that I see. Imagine 200 years ago there was nothing to do but work and try to survive. If you married the neighbor's daughter well you were lucky and that probably worked out. But imagine you're in this world where you have infinite choices it seems like for everything and you could shop for a new mate anywhere in the world and ship them in if things click. I feel like our pickiness is through the roof because we can be picky. If you couldn't be picky then you get over it and you just all right I guess I'll marry the neighbor's daughter. But if you can be picky then you will be.
And if we are picky in all of our other decisions from what app to use to what clothes to wear to everything, if we become super super picky I think marriage is doomed because you're getting married and then you get real picky about your spouse and then it's over. So I think our pickiness and the explosion of choices and options makes marriage essentially obsolete. It'll always be the right solution for some group of people. That'll never change I don't think. But it's mostly obsolete for most people pretty soon I think.
Yeah try getting off the internet and joining the club. You know if I did not do this for work I'm pretty sure I would just get off of social media. I think. I mean I don't know. I don't know that for sure but I don't find value in any social media beyond the fact that I have a functional value right here that it helps me watch the news and interpret it. But if I were not doing this and I were only just trying to have a job and a family or whatever I don't think I'd even watch the news. I wouldn't pay attention to anything except that I do it professionally.
Erica's in the shower that means that the important part of our presentation is over.
You've never had a biological family so your understanding is less. All right I'm going to try not to go off on you for that comment but I really want to. I'll try to do it without going off on you. It is true that if you don't have a biological family you can't understand it but the concept is people who have not had a biological family. So everybody I'm talking about is people who have the same situation as me which is they have not experienced it. And I would acknowledge that if they did experience it they would be addicted to it and they would like it because when you have a kid you're a pretty happy advocate most of the time. Most of the time you're pretty happy you did it.
So your comment is an accurate statement that I would have a different appreciation of it if I had a biological child but that wasn't the topic. The topic was people who haven't done it and decide not to because it doesn't work for them. They don't see the benefit. But I agree that if they went ahead and did it anyway they would find reasons they liked it. They would still get bio dads or donors. It's not too late for you. You should try it. Yeah it's too late for me.
Scott likes to support those who get censored. Do you think that's the same question? Do you think me blocking somebody is a question of censorship? How many people think that? How many think that me blocking trolls is censorship? Because you can still see them right? I only block them from myself don't I? But you can still see them interacting. I'm not blocking them for you. I'm just blocking them so I don't see them. I feel like that's just me deciding what I want to look at. That's not censorship.
My reasons for not having kids are the same as AOC's. Does AOC say she doesn't want to bring somebody into the world because of climate change? I've never heard her say that. I don't think she says that. I'll bet she doesn't say that. That doesn't sound true.
All right. Yeah either go Luddite or cyborg. Those are your two c

hoices. All right do we need a what? Mini Skug? You don't want a little Scott. Oh the those virginity rocks t-shirts have nothing to do with preferring virginity. So yeah that's that's a big brand for the young kids the teens. That there's a brand called virginity rocks or I don't know if it's a brand or it's a saying but they have a lot on their clothing. It doesn't mean they like virginity. Tha…
