When men want women on this kind of basic animalistic, just life level, to reproduce. Right? So the most obvious way to distribute women is to give all the women to the strongest man. Right? So you get — reproduce from the strongest person. That’s the way gorillas — many gorillas, silverbacks live. The one guy gets all the girls. And the problem with that is it sounds like a good idea, but it’s unstable because, obviously, all the other guys finally get think to themselves, oh, I know what we’ll do. We’ll get together and we’ll kill the main guy, the alpha guy, and we’ll steal the woman. And that’s why those governments are unstable. That’s how you get Magna Carta where the aristocrats, the most powerful people, go to the king and say, we want power too. That is, kind of, the human way of acting out that gorilla system. Ultimately, other men want women.
When you have a democracy, the best system is monogamy. Right? One per customer. Everybody gets a woman. And it sounds like that means that weak people will be allowed to breed, but it turns out it’s actually a pretty good system because it favors diversity. Because a lot of times, the smartest guy in the room and the strongest guy in the room are two entirely different people. So you want the strongest guy to reproduce, but you also want the smartest guy to reproduce, and that is how humanity advances. In fact, monogamy, one per customer, is a really good basis for a society. However, it goes against the gorilla code, and the gorilla code is written into our DNA.
This is like a child’s understanding of the world. Someone who has little exposure to actual people and who is unable to conceive of a more sophisticated model of the universe.
There’s a grain of truth in there, under all the weird stuff about women and monogamy.
We did intentionally spread power and resources because it was better for everyone. Turns out kings don’t like getting beheaded.
You’re right, he would be fairly on point if he was just talking about resources and not people too.
Besides the obvious issue of treating people like things, he also thinks the government is lying to us to… get our women? Who in the government is getting the women? Also if the lie is women don’t need men, then how will these supposed liar feds sway the women to them after they abandon their existing men?
And he presupposes that the only way to “acquire” women is to either convince them their man sucks, or that they don’t need a man. Why not just find an unattached woman? And/or become a more desirable man?
This is a guy who needs someone to blame when things don’t go his way.
