I work with animals, and I see how their social bonds are often simpler, based on immediate need and instinct. It makes me wonder about our own complex structures. We design systems, whether in my hobby of cryptography or in societal norms, and sometimes the code has bugs. Does marriage feel like one of those systems that’s running on outdated software? We load it with these huge expectations for constant happiness and perfect partnership, which seems like a sure way to crash the program. I’m genuinely curious how others keep it from glitching. What’s the maintenance routine for something like that?
