Okay. Ban farting. Ban acne. Ban sex. Go ahead. Even drugs are tough to ban, and we’re talking about natural emergent human behavior. In polygamous countries, they are able to enforce laws against adultery, for example. But they can’t change the 80/20 pareto distribution of 80 percent of the women being attracted to 20 percent of the men. They can’t change the fact that men can have multiple children at a time and repopulate after a war, while women cannot (I am not talking about triplets here). Any society in history that tried to enforce equality for men and women in, say, the armed forces, would be weeded out through natural selection. Men are just more expendable, and also more polygamous etc. This is all due to evolutionary selection pressures on societies. And polygamous societies have more war because they have a lot more frustrated young men (literal not figurstive incels due to the law polygamy and anti adultery law enforcement, who then join some movement led by old men etc partly to get women). Western liberal societies have decriminalized adultery and premarital sex. They unsqueezed the balloon in one area and so have less violence. But now the same pareto distribution plays out, just in the premarital years. 20% of the men sleep with 80% of the women, unofficially and hush hush. Then most people eventually pair off “having sown their wild oats” and raise children together for a while. You can replace the war with business, brawn with money, but the natural results will still be there. Banks will still lend easiest to those who need it the least. Investors will still invest in startups because others do. Money won’t be allocated to the many startups that need it. Try to ban it. See what happens.
