Good morning, everybody 5th of October 2025.

We have a base 5 date, 051025.

All are divisible by 5.

We have 1, 2, 5.

1, 2, 5.

All right.

So, excuse me.

So, I happen to take your calls, if you're on X,

happy to take your questions if you are on locals. This is supporter only, so we can keep it.

I think the first part will probably go out as a whole, which is the information about marriage. So I don't have any call requests yet, so I'll start with that.

And let's get to it. I can take this one right down. All right. Let's see. Yeah, I'll keep

the glasses on. No point doing the Mr. McGoo squint later on.

So you see, of course, a lot of the data floating around that says that half of marriages end in divorce.

And, of course, people say, and I understand why, and it's not the worst argument in the world, they say, look, not only do half of marriages end in divorce, but not only but, not all the remaining marriages are super thrilling and happy and positive and buoyant, and so it's really not worth it.

And it is a high risk situation when you get the state, as has happened, you get the state involved in your marriage.

That is a big challenge.

One of the reasons why this has happened is, of course, we have this absolutely delightful problem, which is that

human beings take like 20 years to grow. I mean, I think it would be faster in a free society

because you try and give kids more opportunities earlier. I mean, again, you know, I've got this

Dickensian history.

I got my first job when I was 10 years old.

But having the problem of it takes so long to grow human beings
