I've started this blog post three times. Let's hope this one is good enough to keep. I realize today that relationships are legal slavery because, at any given time, one person is more interested in having a relationship than the other. The disinterested party holds all the power and the interested party is forced into a position of compromise. This is true of every relationship. If you don't agree, you are lying to yourself. I'm slowly realizing that the whole evolutionary game of mating is just not what it's cut out to be and that we, as a species, are flawed. Why are we conscious? Why did we become intelligent enough to recognize the cold, ruthless nature of evolution but too weak to do anything about it? And, make no mistake, it is evolution that drives us. Women want men with resources (money) and men want younger, prettier mates but will always have an eye out for a younger mate. Read "The Desire of Evolution" by D. Buss and you will see the undeniable evidence. This is a perfect system if we are emotionless or not self-conscious. Why, then, is it that the successful progeny are endowed with self-consciousness?
