The only solution I see to this problem is bringing down the value of reproduction through technology. Think artificial wombs.
That should hopefully lessen the social pressure of men to compete.
- langitbiru 3y agoIt's not artificial wombs. But you can have children through surrogacy. https://www.thefp.com/p/motherloading-inside-the-surrogacy https://www.thefp.com/p/motherloading-inside-the-surrogacy
- no_time 3y agoIt is somewhat similar but it doesn't have big enough of an impact in this regard. Still too expensive/illegal.
- globular-toast 3y agoMen don't really compete due to a conscious desire to reproduce, though. It simply pleases men to have more power and more access to more women. The only reason is because they are descended from men who had power and access to women. This seems to be a common misunderstanding of how natural selection works. Giraffes don't select other giraffes consciously because of their ability to reach higher leaves. They select them unconsciously simply because they are attracted to giraffes with longer necks. And they are attracted to giraffes with longer necks because they are descended from giraffes who were attracted to giraffes with longer necks and those giraffes were able to reach higher leaves and could slightly out-compete the other giraffes.
