 is a far less dramatic, far less consequential, updated version of what happened quite some time ago. Look, anything to say about what I brought up? Yeah, I was just thinking about how the English ruled the world for centuries by encouraging many of their young men to become passport bros, the Anglo-Saxon culture, probably more than any other culture of which I'm aware, and it welcomes Anglo-Saxons going out into the world and marrying non-Anglo-Saxons. So this can be an adaptive strategy. It worked for the United Kingdom for centuries, helped them rule the world. The thirst for adventure can lead one in very healthy directions. It requires exceptional people to become a passport bro or to help an empire rule over vast continents and lands far, far away. I was thinking about human trafficking. Most of the women that get caught up in human trafficking aren't so innocent, right? They're trying to get a good deal for themselves and they think that they're essentially going to exploit those who are offering them unbelievable opportunities and then they end up getting taken. So people who are trying to con others who are looking for the easy way out, they're often the most vulnerable while there are people I know, for example, who will not take any credit card offers. So they go to the grocery store and they may get an offer, oh, we'll give you 5% back if you just sign it up for our store card. And they just say no because they recognize that if anyone's offering them something it's because that other person sees an advantage in it for them and they just kind of have a hard head and then they're not going to get caught up in these sort of games. So the people who are seeking to exploit others and are blind to their own weaknesses, the ones who are most likely to be taken advantage of, I'm thinking about one woman I know who grew up very religious and then she dropped her religion and entered the dating world and she got into a habit of very quickly getting into bed naked with guys and then she was shocked that they would force sex on her and she was shocked that she was repeatedly raped but this happened again and again and again and again. So what usually happens in early dating encounters is men offer what they think the opposite sex wants most which is material provisioning, essentially, money. Men flash the money and women flash sexual availability and often weak women will go to bed very quickly with men because they think that's the way they'll tie the man down and then they'll have a source of comfort and strength and protection and material resources so they're going to use their sexuality to try to hook him and men will often try to hook a woman by flashing money around. The more rational, the more stable man or woman is going to be less vulnerable to exploitation because they're going to be thinking in a longer frame. They're going to be thinking about how will my family react? How will my community react? How will my friends react? Is this person a good fit where I want to live with what I hold dear to me in terms of politics and culture and my values with my profession? So the people who think more sanely they're much less likely to be taken advantage of. Pause.
