> That sexual attraction to romantic love to economic unit to reproduction, it’s a strange bundle, but who are we to argue with success.

Given that marriages fail at roughly a 50% rate, and easily half of married people are miserable based on my personal anecdotal data, I have to question the metric of “success” here. You also don’t have to go very far back in history to decouple these factors!

For this holiday season, I am grateful for no-fault divorce, and companionship sans hierarchy.
