k we're in a situation where I don't think we can go back. So it's not that having a family unit doesn't produce better results. It seems to very clearly. But if you can't go back to it, in other words if we're on a one-way journey and you just can't go back because for whatever reason — and I don't think it's just financial — well I'm just going to say it. All right, I didn't want to say it but I'm just going to say it.

The reason people don't stay married is that we suck. That's it. That's it. People suck. We're not people that you should marry and stay married to. We're just not. Not the men, not the women. The men are not worth staying with and the women are not worth staying with. They're just not worth it. Now I'm not talking about any individual and I'm not talking about my life because I'm a rich guy. Nothing applies. You know my rich guy getting married and divorce is not like yours, right? You all know that. I can afford to get married. I can afford to get divorced. So it's different. It's different.

But if a divorce is the difference between poverty and making it, you know that's a whole different world. And in that world the benefit of getting married just isn't there because people suck. I do believe that people are worse people than they've ever been, just in general. People are worse than they've ever been to each other in terms of what it would take to be a partner for marriage. And we, I feel like we can't say that out loud because you know somebody's going to turn it racist of course. Somebody's going to turn it into sexism of course. But you didn't hear me say that, right? I didn't say it's limited to just one group because it's not. I didn't say it's one gender is the bad one because they're not. We've just become terrible people.

So how do you fix that? So I think the Larry Elder solution of strengthening the families is good as a concept, as great as maybe an end point or something. But I don't know how to get there. You can't tell me that marrying somebody who you know is not going to be a good marriage partner works for me. And keep in mind I'm talking about myself, right? I'm not saying you're bad and I'm awesome. I've been divorced twice. Do you think I would be divorced twice if somebody really, really liked being married to me? I don't think so. Honestly, if I were a better deal somebody would be married to me by now probably and we'd be happy. But apparently I'm not a good deal. And you know I'm at least transparent about it.

All right, you know I snore. So it's hard. It's hard to be in a relationship when you snore. That's one of the things people don't talk about. They don't talk about how much snoring makes it impossible to be in a relationship. You can act like it's not like oh that's just a detail, but it's not just a detail. I would bet this snoring is 20 percent of divorces. That's my estimate. Snoring is 20 percent of divorces. Now that doesn't mean they'll say that. It just means you end up in separate bedrooms and then it all goes to hell. So nobody plans it that way.

All right, yeah I've done, I've had my sinuses operated on. It doesn't make a difference. I've had my septum deviated septum also. So I've had two surgeries to fix my general sinus situation. No difference. No difference. But very painful surgeries, but no difference. I do breathe better though.

What was I talking about? Oh, so I love the Larry Elder thing, but I think he needs to go back a level and find out what's wrong at the base. He's definitely on point about something being economic, but there's a much bigger thing. We've all become people who are not worth marriage. That's a big problem right now.

Here's why. Here's part of the reason we've become people we don't want to marry is because we don't have roles. When people had roles you could respect anybody who did their role. Right now you could say it was sexist. That's not the argument. I'm saying that when the male-female roles were clear you could respect the other person for doing the role. And even if maybe the lust dissipated you'd say to yourself my God I can't live without that. Like that's a partner. That's somebody who values the promise as much as the day-to-day lust and happiness.

So yeah, I think the loss of well-defined role models was simultaneously amazing for some number of women, amazing for some number of men, amazing for some number of LGBTQ that maybe got more freedom in that deal. But it destroyed the system. Very good for a lot of people individually, but it destroyed the system. So I think we have to figure out how to restore the system in the context of we're not so good to each other that we want to marry each other these days. We don't add enough value.

Somebody asked me recently if I'd want to get married again. Do you know what my answer is? Why? What would that give me? What possible benefit would that be? I couldn't even think of one. It has nothing to do with any individual I may or may not fall in love with. I just don't see any benefit to it. What's the benefit? Loyalty? Do you think I could get some lo
