With AI and automation flying ahead, you’d have to ask yourself what’s the point of going to university at all? If loads of white-collar jobs are going to be wiped out by machines in the next couple of decades, wouldn’t it make more sense for young people finishing school to head into the trades or take up work that a robot can’t easily do? Chances are, by 2050, office jobs as we know them could be nearly gone. It’s the trades that might be booming, like we’re heading back to the way things were in the 18th century when having real, hands-on skills was what mattered most.

It has come to Our attention that a growing number of young men within Our realm have become preoccupied, even consumed, with an ideal of feminine chastity so rigid that only those without blemish or history are deemed worthy of matrimony. This notion, though often disguised as tradition, is in truth a most disheartening and self-defeating illusion.

No great civilisation endures without the steadfast institution of the family. And yet, this fixation on so-called purity drives noble sons away from union and companionship, leading instead to solitude, resentment, and estrangement. It breeds suspicion where there ought to be trust, and hesitation where there should be honour and duty. Thus, it delays the very blessings it purports to esteem: the stable home and the innocent child.

Let Us speak plainly. Most souls carry a past. This is not a failing but the nature of mortal life. What truly endures is not untouched virtue but the resolve to forge a future together. Women are not foes to be tested but partners in the sacred task of preserving culture and life itself.

If we are to safeguard the legacy of our civilisation, we must cast aside this unrelenting pursuit of flawlessness. Let us instead champion commitment, clemency, and creation. The future shall not be claimed by those who merely judge. It shall be built by those who act.

For the future does not belong to the pure. It belongs to the builders.
