Apology to B.

B did in fact win the bet that the Orthodox were holding the line on gay marriage. I failed to notice, because I ignored the evidence he brought up. I will settle the bet shortly.

Fixing healthcare

Obamacare is in a death spiral. Trump promised to repeal and replace Obamacare, but then ran dead on it, allowing Ryancare to fail and washing his hands of it. Trump then announces he has to compromise with the Democrats on medicine. Single payer for everyone, as in Britain and Canada, is a horrible disaster, but …

Implementing Patriarchy without the state.

Obviously to properly implement patriarchy requires a patriarchal state, and an official state church that can combine moral pressure with official coercion.  Adultery, interfering with another man’s wife or betrothed, should be met with lethal violence which lethal violence needs to be state supported.  If we can shoot burglars, should be able to shoot adulterers.  …
