Marriage Is the Greatest Team in the Universe
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Four billion years it took us to forge this brain in that furnace of suffering.
Hunting, being hunted, dying, we were down to 10,000 souls as a species.
In the last ice age, we were this close to vanishing, going to the back rooms, despawning, gone, baby, gone.
And we fought our way back as a team, as men and women.
And you shit on women and women shit on men.
We are the greatest team in the universe.
And what we have created is without precedence as far as we know and beyond compare as far as we know.
There is nothing else in the universe like it.
There may be nothing else in the universe like it.
And we as men and women have produced this incredible mind through 4 billion years of sloggy, shitty evolution.
Or we have at least carried it forward if you're religious through the glowing creations of God's fingertips.
Oh, women are bad.
Oh, men are bad.
It's a PSYOP.
It's a PSYOP.
If you say to me, Steph, I can't talk to girls, I'll go to jail.
And I say, show me the proof, and you can't show me the proof, but you don't shift your beliefs, you've been demoralized, you've been propagandized, and you have no right to shit on women for being propagandized if you're propagandized.
I say this with sympathy.
I spent years, years in propaganda.
I say this with humility.
I say this with no superiority whatsoever as one fellow fucking galley slave to another, as one fellow sufferer of the sophists who run our brains to another.
People say, but you get divorced.
Divorce is a 50%.
I put out very specific facts with backup saying, here's how to get your chance of divorce down to 5% or lower, a 10 times improvement in risk.
Now, if you really want something and marriage has massive health benefits for men, married men live five to seven years longer, have better health, make more money, have lower stress, higher security on average.
And the 50% divorce rate is total bullshit.
It includes the fake marriages, which are just there for convenience or citizenship.
It includes people who get remarried over and over again.
You get an educated woman who shares your values, your chance of divorce is virtually eliminated.
So people are like, no, no, I'm going to get divorced and she can take half my stuff.
And I say, okay, here are the facts.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Nobody said, holy shit, ballsteph.
That's fantastic.
I'm going to check your numbers.
But man, if you can get divorce down to 5% risk or less, that's pretty good.
Doesn't matter.
50%, 50%, 50%, 50%.
It doesn't matter what I say.
You're propagandized.
I say with sympathy, with encouragement.
Do you face shitty uphill battles?
Yes, you do.
I think I went over them.
I accept most, if not all of them.
Are you propagandized?
You fucking are.
This doesn't mean I'm not propagandized.
This doesn't mean I'm superior.
I've just studied this for a long time, and I'm a little older.
So I've seen the way of the world a little better.
I'm not better.
I'm just a little older.
That's all.
You say 50% divorce.
I say here's how to reduce that by 90%.
Nobody cares.
Which means you're not looking for solutions.
You're looking to justify complaints and fears.
That's propaganda.
And the funny thing is, of course, the whole myth, the whole story is that, well, you know, men, all we want is solutions.
All women want to do is complain and vent their feelings.
Women are 100% accountable, but I'm a victim.
Divorce rates are 50%.
No, you can get them down to 5% pretty easily.
Nobody cares.
Doesn't matter.
It's just to just go on and on.
Fucking boomer, out of touch, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, so that's fine.
I understand that, but you're just in a state of propaganda, which is good.
It's good news.
It's fantastic news that you're in a state of propaganda.
Because you can dematrix.
You can wake up.
That's good news.
If you weren't in a state of propaganda, you'd be permanently locked into a state of terror and rage.
There are solutions.
Are they perfect?
No.
Are they possible?
Yes.
