+
+Conservatives claim to care about
+family values, but a purely merit-based system
+incentivizes degenerate lifestyles.
+To build merit requires _time_ and nothing else.
+"What of effort? What of willpower?" Yes, for those
+of non-negotiable responsibility, (read: familial
+obligation) carving out time for professional
+improvement does require effort, a tremendous amount
+in fact, where bachelors like myself struggle to
+fill a day with activity. It would not be absurd
+to say that it is easier for me to pursue
+professional development than not. I don't believe
+that love can be put off a decade, and I find the
+idea bitter cynical.
+
+I don't deserve a better life than my wedded
+peers because I'm compulsively socially avoidant.
