And to modern ideology, that makes a lot of sense.

Before that, to give an example of another ideology of love, from the early 1800s until 1986, we had the ideology of romantic love, where cultures imposed on people, they indoctrinated them, acculturated them, socialized them, however you want to put it. into thinking that a man and a woman, as individuals, they're only half a person.

So from our perspective, that sounds a little bit silly, but imposing those beliefs on people pushed them together and made them have children to a sufficient extent. Well, you could say maybe to a too high extent because the population growth during that period was enormous. So

In that second bottle, when it comes to having children, in earlier times, in all earlier times, I'm sure there were exceptions here and there, but maybe those weren't too functional. Societies imposed on people that they had to pair bond and have children. If not, you would be sanctioned, ostracized, or maybe you'd be a monk or go to war or work the fields. And we don't do that anymore.

You do these things, and then in some, it leads to sufficient reproduction.
