Jesus: Hi guys, Long time no see, 2000 years give or take. Okay, so how things go? Yea, I think we shouldn’t judge porn so harshly, I mean c’mon, not like the rest of your are free of sin anyway. Why not legalize it?

RB: Because  Jesus would frown upon it & he died for your sins. How’s that for ONE guilt-ridden reason?
Jesus: Did I? I mean, I frown upon many stuffs you know. I mean, so what, some hot chicks using their God given talents to humbly serve others in need while other chicks just bury their talents behind clothes. There are worst deeds than that. So what with free sex and free market? There are terrorists and shit. Hell, if screwing porn is that important I would have said that a lot 2000 years ago. When Solomon got like 1000 chicks to fish, DAD didn’t even bother sending a single prophet. Doesn’t worth the Faith points ™. People are bashing religions because they love porn. So many things are sin you make it tough for people to repent. Reaching out to porn stars can help ME save more souls. That crucifixion thing is sunk cost you know. Marginal cost for salvation is kind of low.

Well, there are about the same number of males to females.

That seems like a pairing.

However, males want as many females as possible. Women prefer the best genes measurable by wealth.

Some restaurants, for example, are full. Some restaurants are empty.

There is no restriction that all restaurants deserve the same number of customers?

So why monogamy becomes the norm?

Look at the Arab. The oil money goes to the Arab king. Why? Because the Arab king is in power.

It seems that natural resources tend to get divided proportional to military power.

Say you productively create wealth, and then some robbers put gun in your head. Guess who will enjoy your wealth?

If this keep going then people will all try to be martial artists rather than farmers. So some societies come up with better ways to encourage acts that promote common interests more.

One such arrangements are democracy.

To understand how monogamy work, we need to understand the ancient Greek. The ancient Greek is the first democratic countries in the world.

Democracy has one benefit. Democracy replaces civil war. When we have different opinions of what governments should do, we can settle our different by voting rather than killing each other.

Democracy is also a stable social contract. If some guy get 80% of the vote. The other side will know that they won’t win anyway if they wage a civil war. So they may as well yield.

It comes with pluses and minus of course.

In ancient time, only the male can vote. Why? That’s because males are stronger than females. We are trying to replace a civil war you see.

If 60% of the population vote for Julius Caesar, but all of which are females, obviously it wouldn’t be a stable social contract. The other side will fight anyway rather than honoring the social contract.

Now, natural resources get divided proportional with ones’ political power. One man one vote soon leads to one man one wife.

And that’s why we have monogamy.

Many people want to prohibit prostitution and porn. They said those are so bad that they have to be prohibited.

So, if a woman wants to have sex, what’s the alternative for that? Marriage.

By prohibiting the alternatives, societies pretty much push people into marriage.

However, is marriage that good? I mean compared to porn and prostitution?

For example, I have a maid. His father wants to remarry. Well, if the father is rich, who care?

However, the father is poor. He wants to remarry and he demands my maid to supply him money.

What a jerk. However, no religious fundamentalists would condemn such acts as immoral.

I know other pretty women that want a divorce. However, it’s difficult to get a divorce.

The rule says that the man has to make a mistake first.

Well, there are about the same number of males to females.

That seems like a pairing.

However, males want as many females as possible. Women prefer the best genes measurable by wealth.

Some restaurants, for example, are full. Some restaurants are empty.

There is no restriction that all restaurants deserve the same number of customers?

So why monogamy becomes the norm?

It seems that natural resources tend to get divided proportional to military power.

Say you productively create wealth, and then some robbers put gun in your head. Guess who will enjoy your wealth?

But why marriage? Why people have institution called marriage?

To understand this, we need to understand, how we evolve.

Humans maximize the number of genetic copies. Humans that make a lot of kids will survive better in the gene pool. Those sorts of humans are the one that are common nowadays.

Richer males can attract and afford more kids. Women prefer the rich. The sort of humans that are in the gene pool are the sort of humans that want to get rich.

You don’t take it with you. You know. I mean your wealth. So what’s the point of getting rich?

The point of getting rich is then to inherit your wealth to your children. In most cultures, that means to your male children. That’s because the male children are the one making more kids when more money are invested.

I don’t want to promote sexism. There are ways to do this without any sexist laws. If I have many kids, I would inherit the same amount of wealth to my daughters and son. However, that’s the historical facts that you can verify.
