Public support for non-monogamy and polyamory has risen considerably in recent years. Many advocates argue that normalizing non-monogamy is a progressive reform in line with women's equality and same-sex marriage. But this view is seriously misguided, as I argue in this new talk. Normative monogamy played a critical and...

The ENM Imbalance Problem A common argument against ethical non-monogamy is that it can’t work because one person will usually have more options, attention, or dating success than the other. And honestly, that can be true. But imbalance exists in monogamy too. The real issue is whether that imbalance gets talked about honestly or used as leverage. ENM doesn’t fail just because things aren’t perfectly equal. It fails when someone says yes out of fear, when jealousy gets dismissed, or when one person’s freedom comes at the other person’s emotional expense. The ethics are in how you handle the messy parts.

‘The greatest defence of Christian monogamy ever written.’ Project 39 continues with Katherine from The Taming of the Shrew - Act 5, Scene 2. The head-strong and quick-witted Katherine has finally been ‘tamed’ and urges her friend to get married too. This is a controversial speech. As far back as George Bernard Shaw, critics have found it ‘problematic’. Katherine - as they see it - betrays herself and her autonomy by speaking in favour of marriage and supporting the status quo. Modern productions tend to ironise the speech, suggesting that Katherine is speaking under coercion. But Germaine Greer called the speech ‘the greatest defence of Christian monogamy ever written.’ As she and other critics see it, Katherine has met her match and is submissive because in Petrochio she has met someone who is ‘man enough to know what he wants and how to get it.’ Katherine is played by Lily Hardy

How to Win the Meme War I had a fascinating conversation with Brett Hall (Brett Hall), Carlos De la Guardia (Carlos De la Guardia), and Paul (PF Jung) in Austin, Texas. We explored the intersections of ideas from Karl Popper, David Deutsch, Jordan Peterson, and Bret Weinstein, focusing on epistemology, memetic warfare, and the role of rational and anti-rational memes in shaping culture. Paul shared his project on winning the "meme war" through radical enlightened centrism, while we discussed street epistemology, the evolution of ideas, and the balance between tradition and progress. From the wisdom encoded in religions to the potential of transhumanism, this conversation is a deep dive into how we create, critique, and spread ideas for a flourishing society.

🚨Brandi Kruse denies opposing gay marriage in confrontation with protester Brandi Kruse told a group of protesters at the Snohomish County Republican Party that she has never opposed gay marriage and accused her critics of spreading lies to frighten people. She remained steadfast of her support for initiative IL26-638, declaring that men are not women and should not compete in women’s sports. “I don’t oppose gay marriage. I’ve never opposed gay marriage,” Kruse said during Saturday's exchange in the City of Snohomish. “If you took me, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton and put us in a room, only one of us in that room will have [n]ever opposed gay marriage. I have no interest in changing the laws on gay marriage.” Kruse added that the false claim that she opposes same-sex marriage was first made by "No Hate Washington state" the very group of which the signs by the protesters read. “You guys need to stop spreading lies and stop supporting organizations that lie to make people scared,” she said. “That’s all they do. They lie to make people scared. It’s wrong. … If you believe in what you’re saying, use the truth. Just debate based on the truth, and we won’t have any issues.” Both President Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton publicly opposed same-sex marriage for years before reversing course. Obama said during his 2004 Senate race and 2008 presidential campaign that marriage is “between a man and a woman.” He announced his support for gay marriage in May 2012, saying his views had evolved. Clinton supported the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act as first lady and described marriage in 2004 as “a sacred bond between a man and a woman.” She publicly backed same-sex marriage in a March 2013 video. President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act into law on Sept. 21, 1996. Between 2013 and 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, stating that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. Many (but not majority) gay and lesbian activists and intellectuals opposed same-sex marriage in the 1970s through the early 2000s, viewing it as a conservative, assimilationist "heteronormative" goal that clashed with the broader aims of gay liberation. Also, more many members of the gay community, marriage was seen as a middle-class, white, privileged issue during an AIDS crisis many LGBT people argued were of higher priority. Other parts of gay culture valued sexual openness and non-traditional relationships arguing that legal marriage would pressure conformity to monogamy and nuclear-family heteronormative ideals, marginalizing polyamorous, non-monogamous, or other consenting queer arrangements. However, opponents made a compelling argument tying the need for marriage equality to health insurance benefits, inheritance benefits, and tax benefits. Also, during the AIDS crisis, many LGBT partners were refused to be alongside their partners in hospitals--a privilege of being married.

Can a relationship thrive without rules? Or does lasting love require some limits? In this candid and thought-provoking episode, Scott sits down with one of his personal training clients (also named Scott) for a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable questions in modern relationship philosophy: Are some imposed boundaries necessary to preserve long-term commitment? Centering mostly around Wild Love Theory’s radical premise, that maximal happiness requires maximal freedom, the conversation challenges traditional ideas about relational doubt, how much freedom is too much and staying together “no matter what.” Together, they explore: • How much relational freedom is optimal • If boundary-free love is liberating or potentially reckless • How cultural norms about divorce shape our definitions of commitment • The emotional trade-offs between safety and sovereignty • Why ENM spaces often avoid talking about relational maintenance Whether you’re in a long-term monogamous marriage or navigating ethical non-monogamy, this episode asks the question most couples never dare say aloud: Can you be truly free, and still choose to stay? #podcast #relationship #marriage

New episode with Francis Fukuyama (Francis Fukuyama). While The End of History and the Last Man is arguably the most influential work in political science of the past half-century, I wanted to focus on one of Frank's lesser-known books: Our Posthuman Future. In that book, he considers biotech and its potential to usher in a new, post-human history. I check in to see how his views have evolved since it was published (2002), then ask him about AI and its potential to restart "History". The goal was to discuss topics that are important and on which Frank has spoken little until now. Frank also gives me a preview of his forthcoming book, and shares some ideas on delegation and state capacity. (0:00:00) - Introduction. (0:00:41) - Are new biotechnologies restarting History? (0:03:52) - Why Fukuyama thinks life extension is a bad idea. (0:06:47) - Which biotechnology is most likely to drive transhumanism? (0:07:34) - Political orders are downstream of technology. (0:10:31) - Would Fukuyama have denied political rights to Denisovans or Neanderthals? (0:13:56) - Transhumanism and longevity's unintended consequences. (0:18:55) - Assortative mating vs. gene editing. (0:20:00) - How should we adjudicate disagreements between different sets of natural rights? (0:24:03) - How is Fukuyama thinking about AGI and ASI? (0:27:31) - Granting AIs political rights? (0:37:23) - Best political order for a society of non-thymotic AIs? (0:40:44) - Could an ASI design a better political order than liberal democracy for today's world? (0:44:08) - Why Asian cultures are more permissive of biotechnology. (0:47:04) - Do LLMs represent a victory of American soft power in China? (0:49:17) - If humanity is made economically redundant, where will megalothymia be channelled? (0:51:58) - Can Trump and Musk's relationship endure their mutual megalothymia? (0:53:23) - A future without work? Kojève's 1959 trip to Japan, & the early-modern landed gentry. (1:00:41) - Hegel vs. Kojève: wars after history? (1:02:26) - What more would have to happen for China to falsify the end of history thesis? (1:03:39) - What Fukuyama learned from having his thesis chronically misunderstood. (1:06:37) - Fukuyama's advice for public intellectuals who want sustainable careers. (1:08:52) - A sneak peek at Fukuyama's next book. (1:10:32) - Delegation in armies and bureaucracies. (1:15:48) - Why Fukuyama thinks DOGE was misguided. (1:17:53) - The relationship between talent, delegation and state capacity. Watch full episode on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. Transcript at my website jnwpod dot com. Enjoy!

Alice Evans (Alice Evans) wants to understand why the whole world has become more gender equal, but some societies have become so much more equal than others. Why have gender norms evolved so differently in, for example, South Korea and Sweden? Understanding this Great Gender Divergence, as Alice calls it, could also help us understand how culture mediates the effects of industrialisation and economic growth. Alice joined me and Aria Babu on the Works in Progress Podcast to discuss some of this. Plus: the global fall in fertility, and the role of friendship and love between men and women in driving gender equality. And is joint tax filing for married couples a subsidy, or does it actually remove an economically costly distortion? Listen now on the Works in Progress Podcast. Links to listen and subscribe below. 00:00:00 Why some societies have become far more gender equal than others 00:10:11 Men's attitudes to feminism in Asia 00:14:30 How cities changed everything 00:18:34 Dating markets in crisis 00:31:15 Industrialisation and the empowerment of women 00:42:25 Can any policy boost birth rates? 00:53:10 Can change be forced from the top? 01:00:18 Gender relations and the workplace
