Less than 5% of mammals are monogamous and so humans are mammals obviously. The reality is that humans are not biologically wired for monogamy. Marriage actually started being associated more with love, the core foundation between two people. I think anyone who goes into marriage thinking they're going to find their one true love or anything at this point will fail. And then finally, we actually close out with a discussion around how different narratives can even shape our ability or likelihood of adopting new technologies.
In part 2 of this 3-part series, we decided to re-air part of our most popular episode, #35: Does Marriage, Retirement, or the 40-Hour Work Week Still Make Sense?
In this segment, we share:
- How humans are actually not wired for monogamy
- What animals within the animal kingdom are monogamous
- The history of marriage and when marriage started to be associated with love
- Explore the concept of love and whether the 37% rule could be applied to it
- Understand the key difference between animals and humans
- The importance of travel and exposure to different ways of living
- How narratives drive the adoption of technology
