And to that other thing you said about how can we raise up men, well, that's what you could call one of the Scandinavian paradoxes. In raising up women, as I again, I think that I mentioned to you last year, the Norwegian welfare state, men pay more into it in taxes than they receive from it. Women receive more than $1.2 million from the welfare state over their lifetime than they pay in taxes.

And $1.2 million, that's still pretty good money. And I think that is one of the linchpins of our society. The reason why Norway, according to the UN, almost every year is the best society living in the world is precisely because we transfer these resources from men to women. And there's a variety of reasons why that creates a better society.

But then a negative aspect of that is that men lose these resources and women gain them, which is good for society, good for the women and the children they bear. But it makes men relatively less attractive because, number one, women, to a much lesser extent, need the resources of a partner. And men have lost these resources that in previous times would make them more attractive to women.

And that's a very bad externality. So we created perhaps the greatest society in human history. And because of the way we did that, we're now striving towards self-eradication because we created a society where men actually aren't good enough to entice women's attraction systems so that women want to have sex with them and pair bond with them and have children with them. And that is unfortunate.

And like you said, that is a spaghetti.

Yeah, so that has to do about culture and ideology. This is what we covered the last time over an hour. And I recently published a book called Stories of Love from Vikings to Tinder, where I take the reader through a 800-year journey of Western ideologies of love to show how we ended up where we are today and how that explains our dating dysfunction and the demographic collapse.

So we now live in a world with the mating ideology that's called confluent love. Confluence means to come together. So we're supposed to come together and as long as that's beneficial, we're supposed to stay together. When it's not, move on. So we have serial pair bonding interspersed with opportunistic short-term relationships.

So we sleep around when we're single and preferably not when we're hitched up and then relationships last for as long as they last. And the values of this mating regime is, convenience, reward, and individualistic self-realization. So we're supposed to do whatever works for us as individuals. And to modern ideology, that makes a lot of sense.
