What we regard as marriage today, isn't what marriage used to mean. Today we associate a marriage with a wedding, registration, a semi-official ritual and all kinds of nonsense.
This all represents the death of love, not its birth.
Let's start, right off the bat, with the most formal part of it in our soyciety: The marriage registration, which results in a certificate.
What does "register" mean? It's in the name, "regis" meaning the authority of the nation. Or the REGIme!
It means handing it to the regime.
This isn't just a play on words but a VERY real phenomenon. In the old days, a man would get married to a woman, and their families would be joined quite literally. That means the authority of both families would reign over them, their children and so on.
These bonds were strong.
The concept of a man "departing" from a marriage was never really a thing, the family would intervene, and the man would be ejected out of society.
Same deal for the woman who would disobey the husband, cause trouble and generally go crazy as women do today (very regularly).
As the man held the responsibility to protect his wife, and provide for her and their children, he also was granted authority over her.
This will undoubtedly make modern women shriek. "Ew, a random man [and I *despise* all men], has authority over ME?"
Indeed, that's how it was.
Why?
What incentive is there for a man to be given responsibilities and burdens, if they aren't given authority to shape their own destiny? That includes what their wife does.
How can you lock them into this over a long time without giving them something in return?
Clear? No?
Well, let's look at what happens with marriage registration today and you'll see it. Perhaps.
When a marriage is registered today, the woman is given away, by the person who wanted to marry her, to the regime. She is registered as the property of the regime.
Now, to a modern woman this sounds LESS offensive. "Well the regime is bigger and better than any man".
Like anything registered as property of a regime, that property can return to the regime -- through no-fault divorce.
The woman is incentivised to divorce her "husband" (not really her husband as you can see), and in trade for destroying his life, they are rewarded handsomely.
These women have every reason to divorce their man. Think about it.
He has no authority over them.
He just provides.
It's through the goodness of these women's hearts that they pretend he's their husband for the duration, it's through their mercy this right is not exercised.
I'm sure this sounds horrible but think about it logically.
Imagine you had a knife to someone's back, even someone you liked, and had to go on a 20 year road trip with them.
Imagine if there is an inevitable difference between you and there's no consequence for plunging it in.
See, these women are human, albeit fallen humans most of the time. This mercy cannot last forever.
At some point, there will be trouble.
With no bonds to family and no society to fall back on, the only husband they had all along, the regime, is all they can turn to. And they do.
Men aren't stupid. The majority of us see this for what it is. So there are two solutions.
The most popular one was to just not commit and bounce around all the women. Why sign this stupid contract when you can rent out fake relationships to satisfy your lust? Hookup culture.
Eventually women caught on, so they kicked off #MeToo but it ultimately created a disincentive of being with women all together.
So men started to go into another mode: Complete avoidance of women. This phase has been going on for about 9 years. Women have noticed...
So their solution? To try and shame men back into the marriage trap. ๐
It won't work, men are familiar with basic game theory from their observations. The game is skewed on one end and has nothing to do with spirituality.
Men would only accept a real marriage without the regime.
But the regime already thought of this. Today, you're automatically married by "cohabitating" (a term invented by feminists). This means you could invite someone over to your house for some duration and then they'll suddenly own half of it. And you'll become their slave later.
Furthermore, men who try to use the legal system to exercise authority, via a prenuptial agreement, are also f**ked over by judges who throw it away.
Leaving no way back to the way things were.
There's ultimately no solution here, so what is the lesson?
Ultimately, women are the root of civilization as they create families. But without men, these roots are not fed nutrients, will shrivel up and die.
Marriage kept these going and is gone.
Restoring real marriage won't fix everything. But it would be one important step.

P.S. I was going to write about the problem with modern weddings, but I'll save that for another time.

A deeply flawed and demonic chaos parasitic species, created by an enemy of our super-species. Almost eradicated by our ancestors (my species, Cro-Magnons), but we could only seemingly get rid of their males.
The chapter of interest is "White Blood and Red Milk".
This details the ancient confusion of the origin of milk. Most societies assumed that mothers converted their blood into milk. I discussed this in part 3 of the thread "Red vs White" species.
The other chapters are also interesting, e.g. "blood as the source of life", but one thing at a time.
It's important to understand how ancient, medieval and renaissance thinkers understood milk and blood for numerous reasons. This book starts with a quote from the latter era:
"If we would define or describe what Milk is, it seemeth to be nothing but white blood", wrote the English physician and naturalist Thomas Moffett (1553โ1604) in his dietetic rules for a healthy body. "If one examines
blood somewhat more closely, one will detect that it is almost nothing but milk [. . .] milk, just slightly coloured", -- Dutch physician Cornelis Bontekoe (1647โ1685)
Fine structure constant.
How strange. Accurate to 0.03%. I don't feel confident enough to include this amazing thing in my paper so I'll share it on here. Has anyone encountered this approximation before?
[My head hurts and I want to finish this thing. I'm sorry I tried my best.]
It's bizarre because ln(8R/a) is in the toroid inductance formula. If you identify R/a=1/alpha, then you get something very close to an integer out of the logarithm... What?!
To re-emphasise it's not out of no where. It came from identify the Compton wavelength with R and the classical radius with a. This formula brought out the electron mass to within 3.6% accuracy. The trouble is the R on the outside is different: It has to use a Hopfin fibration and torodial/polodial twists, resulting in Compton wavelength/(4*pi^2).
I can't explain it and my head hurts from all the other stuff which I've worked on (more significant in many ways if I can't close this), so I have to admit defeat and leave this in someone else's hands. Someone smarter than me I hope!
The 8 comes pure from ring geometry.
The "a" is saying physically -- if you had a sphere that contained the charge necessary to produce the field of a electron what radius would it be if it also equalled the energy of the electron.
The R comes from the wavelength we've detected.
The 7? I have no idea. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Einstein with his ret*rded idea has held back physics for more than a century. Even Robert Millikan, who measured the photoelectric effect's frequency dependence, told him to let go of the idea.
I'm going to explain it, for the first time I've seen explained by others and I spent 3 days making sure no one else has thought of such a simple thing before. I was shocked.
It's not a property of the field, it's a boundary condition on the genesis of an electron-positron pair.
Well, well, @AnthropicAI pulled the rug on all of its users.
It introduced Sonnet 4.5, under the pretense that it was better than Opus 4.1. The benchmarks were all cooked. Opus 4.1 is still superior to Sonnet 4.5.
Yet they used this as an excuse to lower usage limits on Opus!
@AnthropicAI If you subscribe to their non-API plan they're not even transparent about how much usage you're getting.
They got people hooked to this and now they're raising the price by 10x as layoffs continue. This is the expert squeeze happening live.
@AnthropicAI Zero accountability from the so-called government who is meant to regulate this sort of scam.
We will be contacting the @acccgovau, over this rug pull. What a load of sh*t @AnthropicAI. You sell people onto Max x20, you announce an inferior LLM, then reduce their usage by 10x?
There was never a "chosen people" if the context is God.
You're likely thinking of Satan (Yahweh) and the "divine council" where Elohim (plural) got to divide up humanity and Yahweh got assigned the most evil bloodline in the world.
(it's in the Torah lol, several places too)
The funniest thing about arguing with Torah believers is using their own material against them.
The real purity is in the gospel and nothing else but the true words of Jesus Christ our only saviour.
Just wait until you find out what Deutoronomy says Moses's last words were (people were complaining about Yahweh's treatment towards them so he was like, look this was the Elohim assigned to us... don't blame me, then Yahweh killed him. He had just killed his brother)
