It's not very fun reading.
It's very dense.
And he gives you his research methods, his conclusions.
And he looks at 86 civilizations over a 5,000 year period of time.
And he asks the question, what causes civilizations to rise and thrive?
And what causes civilizations to decline and fall and be replaced?
And he says that there is not one exception to this rule, that civilizations that
paired prenuptial chastity with absolute monogamy, created the strongest civilizations in history and lasted the longest.
These civilizations, he says, Ali, gave us the best art,
food, architecture, standing armies, families, art, just go down the line, okay?
Then in the inverse, he said, there's not an exception to the inverse rule that societies that adopted, and what's this, codified total sexual freedom
