#101 | Restoring Sacred Companionship in a Post Feminism World
from Ancient Intelligence · host Anya Shakhmeyster
In this episode I dive into how romanticism came to life in parallel with feminism which had the western world do away with more pragmatic approaches to marriage and partnership. This had us lose the structure that once made family building and planning more viable and consistent. I introduce the concept of the gold pill that’s based on resurfacing the idea of the dowry from ancient times. In addition I talk about how feminism made way for entitlement and how that’s hurt relationships between men and women in a big way. Expect to learn about my takeaways on the red pill, what is the gold pill and is it viable, Josiah Trenham’s three reasons to get married, the story of the biblical Raquel’s sacrifice, modern day dowrys, and much more.Timestamps:00:00 - 00:51 Episode Trailer and Intro00:51 - 02:07 What is the purpose of Ancient Intelligence02:07 - 02:41 Why are we not all blissful in relationships?02:41 - 04:03 Josiah Trenham's 3 reasons to get married04:03 - 06:58 Red pill vs Gold Pill06:58 - 10:31 Should we reconsider the dowry?10:31 - 12:01 Why did feminism create entitlement on behalf of women12:01 - 13:55 Is love enough to marry on?13:55 - 15:42 Are feminists lying to themselves 15:42 - 18:18 Is this why divorces are so rampant these days?18:18 - 20:25 Women and Entitlement20:25 - 21:37 The Romanticised Modern Fairy Tale21:37 - 23:17 Men just want to be believed in23:17 - 25:18 The story of Raquel and her sacrifice25:18 - 27:22 Is female entitlement good or bad?27:22 - 28:39 The two extremes that don’t work for us28:39 - 30:06 Final thoughts and key takeaways30:06 - 30:45 Outro_______________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!
