Yet many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people, who could do anything they want, get married... how does that square with your thesis?
- BubRoss 7y agoAnyone can choose to get married or not, why does 'wealth and power' matter?
- Gatsky 7y agoWell if marriage is ‘Insane’ then you might think that people with high agency might choose to do something else. If not the OP’s ideas about marriage may be missing the point.
- kelnos 7y agoHigh financial agency in no way makes someone immune from family, peer, or even societal pressure.
- erikpukinskis 7y ago“Being wealthy” is a rough proxy for “prioritizing wealth over other things” and therefore the existence of so many wealthy married people suggests marriage is not an impediment to wealth.
- Porthos9K 7y agoThey're still people. That makes them prone to doing irrational things when they're hungry, lonely, angry, or horny.
