>>40516837I knew someone would hit back with this. Any structure to how we best meet the needs of our offspring is all tied up in socially invented bullshit. If child rearing was more of a collective effort like in ancient communal tribes. People's hang ups about family shit that they had no power to escape or truly react towards wouldn't have seen tens of millions end their lives across civilization.
Millions have also suffered for centuries for being "bastards" because of how society treated the unwed. Whereas in reality, marriage is a just an arbitrary social contract, invented by the ruling classes to sell off their daughters either for power or cooperative alliances. Now it is for property law & that's about it.
People use to suffer a lifetime of retardedly staying married to the person they grew to hate more than any other. As it was/is seen as a social faux pas to be divorced.
Laugh at the absurdity of it all & realise that our reality is mostly a construction. Not one formed by AIs or NHI to enslave us but by our own hubris & ability to become indoctrinated. Losing sight of the actual true underpinnings of societal structure.
