The marriage value debate is printing right now, led by two massive shorts and fresh long-form entries. The short-form proof means the hook already works; the long-form expands it.

Kait runs the cost-benefit analysis on modern marriage for men with actual data: divorce initiation rates, asset division outcomes, health and longevity statistics, and what men themselves report getting out of it.
The video takes neither side at the start. It presents the case men are making for opting out, then the counter-data on married men's outcomes, and lets the numbers create the discomfort. The clinical, no-stake-in-the-outcome delivery is the differentiator: every other video on this topic is an advocate for one side. Kait's is an autopsy of the institution. Ends on the unsettling conclusion that both sides are arguing about a contract neither has read.
