@Atavisionary logically correct, but factually...

The age of empires is not an age of cooperation, but rather of constant wars. Imo this comes as a consequence of the "Let's he and you fight" female game, gone runaway.

Have a look at my own book, The Empress Is Naked, if you want. (PM me your email, I'll send you a copy).

@adam-l I mean the same is true of women always seeking to branch swing up. The idea is that overall, the benefits of a well-functioning civilization (that is, ubiquitous cooperate-cooperate social arrangements) is in aggregate more beneficial to everyone than having lots of defectors. That social commons is worth keeping in check lusts for both men and women. This is obviously hypothetical given today's laws etc, but a legal structure which supported this would probably make for a more pleasant life for everyone.

@Atavisionary it was totally worth the read.

One of the most recurrent finding in evopsych is that men would never settle and always chase new women, if they had the chance. I.e. "beta" is only a fall-back strategy for men.

I think that since the Right has a more zero-sum view of society than the Left, the pro-marriage and offspring bias in it is more about reclaiming a strong sense of belonging, than about reproductive strategy per se.

@adam-l Thanks for taking a look. The "sacrifice" by men in my conception isn't something done for free. Its something done in payment for certain things men want. A chaste wife at a young age and a healthy family. Many men want this, and it is built in instinctively. Institutions and cultures which support guaranteeing this situation, and working against female capriciousness, are compensating the men for their "sacrifice." Or rather, they are entering into a cooperate-cooperate arrangement from which all involved benefit. Both parties contribute work, and both are rewarded for that work. I don't think men mind "sacrificing" when the rewards are appropriate. Its merely a fair exchange.

@Atavisionary

Done done reading the second half of your book.

You go ahead to draw conclusions from a reactionary viewpoint. You do a good work of it, and conservatives will find it convincing.

IMO it does suffer from the greater reactionary fallacies. Men deserving to sacrifice for "civilization", women deserving to receive the privileges of a wife, lack of humanitarianism and a resulting compensation by adopting a "pro-evolution" view of society in relation to intelligence, and more. But this is another discussion.

Open minded non-reactionaries can find useful information and ideas gathered in your book, ones that are rare to come by, too.

@Atavisionary interesting. I will check it out.
