Capitalism is evil. You hear that all the time these days, in internet clips, on TV, even in real life. But has anyone actually explained what capitalism is or why it's responsible for the greatest increase in human prosperity the world has ever seen? Hillsdale College is offering a fantastic free online course called Understanding Capitalism, and I've been watching it myself. I found that the course does an incredible job of making complex concepts like the market economy understandable. In just seven lectures, you'll learn how capitalism works with human nature, why it relies on freedom and private property, and why it's actually a system that rewards virtue and responsibility, not greed. And this is just one of over 40 free online courses Hillsdale College offers.
You can learn about the US Constitution, the Book of Genesis, the Roman Republic, even the history of the ancient Christian church. Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash trigger to enroll in this course, Understanding Capitalism. There's no cost and it's easy to get started. And that's hillsdale.edu slash trigger to enroll for free. One more time, that's hillsdale.edu slash trigger. What is the fastest and best way for me to end up sitting across from you in your law office?
Infidelity would be number one. Men losing their job is a tremendous tracker as to divorce. Very often substance use issues come up because a person starts drinking more to cope. If you want to screw your marriage up, the best way to do it is to just stop paying attention to it. Just don't water the plant. It'll die. Everybody harps on the statistic that roughly 56% of marriages end in divorce. But the more interesting statistic to me is that 87% of people who get divorced are remarried within five years of their divorce. It failed catastrophically. The wheels came off and 87% within five years go, all right, let's give it another shot.
at hillsdale.edu trigger James, welcome to Trigonometry. Great to be here. Oh, it's great to have you on. You are literally like the world's leading expert on divorce, which is a great thing to be an expert in.
Yes, it feels a bit like being the best-looking leper. You're known for something that people really kind of don't want to even talk about because saying the word is like saying Voldemort and that somehow you'll summon it. But yeah, no, I appreciate that I've become well-known as a divorce lawyer.
Right, and look, to be honest, we're not pro-divorce, obviously, but the reason we wanted to talk to you is one of the things I imagine is true is if you've seen a lot of people go through that process and help them through that, you probably have a good insight into how not to be in that situation in the first place. Is that fair to say?
