A BIG problem is that the majority opinion posits marriage as a "need". It can only become felt as a need through social construction and competition. This kind "need" talk has two effects: 1. More people love one other person instead of all equally. Those without a marriage or something approaching it feel worse unnecessarily especially in a well populated world. 2. Life needs can become rights. I don't know if a right to marriage will occur, but there are can be a cycle with purely individualistic marriages on one hand and purely socialistic (arranged) marriages on the other. We've already seen awkward tech people wax nostalgiac about arranged marriages - you might think their birth rate would just solve any issue but the tech these people make remakes the youths in their image. There's no logic to this process; it's not a progression. "Satire, if it is to do any good and not cause immeasurable harm, must be firmly based on a consistent ethical view of life." But we are addicted to satire for the sake of humor, that is, pleasurable neurological quirks that may win an argument in our minds and purely us in self-satisfied rest, but do not percieve or build an order.
