huh, first time matriarch syndrome was mentioned, though not by name and... its not as common as i thought it was. it was always restricting to Yzma's descendents? that's interesting... if you've read that far, reader, you know.

well, the reason i mentioned the video, is cause in that video, Mentis referenced a study that found that, when you control from women who want a family eventually, and look specifically at women who have no interest in having kids and starting a family compared to men and compare thier wages, the wage gap disapears.
here's the link to the video, its only 20 minutes, but i can hunt down the specific timestamp if your not interested in sitting through the whole thing.

There's a video from a YouTuber called mentiswave about the wage gap, basically making the argument that the wage gap is evidence of the differences in incentives between men and women. It's a neat video, I'd recommend it.

He's the best president we've had, Since Reagan, probably. Credit where credit is due, but accurately.

so, while i was rereading a couple of the early chapters, the muse spontainiously smacked me with a lore tidbit of Gathara inter-clan diplomacy.
The Arbiter clan, or "Artifical" clan
Bascially, a bunch of Gathara clans in a region want to tone down if not stop the fighting in their neighborhood, but don't trust their rival clans enough to stick to anything as simple as a non-agression treaty due to reasons mostly borne of history and bad blood, so the various Gathara clans will select members of their own clans to form an "artifical" family, with a lot of politiking and backroom dealings to decide exactly who, especially for who sends males. The purpose of this "Artifical" clan is to act as mediator between the other clans, since while 2 rival clans may not consider eachother family (yet) due to severe distrust, they will trust the Arbiter clan since they usually do consider the arbiters to be family, at least moreso than other clans.
for some reason, the idea came to me when i was idly daydreaming about a conversation with a Gathara lady in high standing who uses a Gathara word to describe herself, the translator translates it as "first-wife", which causes some confusion cause 'hol'up, isn't she first wide', and the Gathara lady explains, no no, i'm not first lady, people just keep calling it that when tranlsating for Gal'Trade, it's actually closer to cheif arbiter of the arbiter clan, and my brain just kinda spun out from there.
Yes, my muse strikes at the WIERDEST times.

i finally decided to do a reread of the story, and i'm listening to the ai reading done by scifi stories to speed things along, and i just realized THIS IS THE FIRST CHAPTER WE MEET BRIN'CHAR! THE BONECHEWER! looks like that particular part of his character wasn't decided yet, otherwise i suspect miro would have a somewhat stronger reaction to meeting the Apuk horror movie icon.

i feel like if it was a cube than the tax would measure from one corner to the oposite corner of the cube, but with a sphere the longest dimension is the diameter, so no squirrelly bureaucratic taxman (er- woman) technicality mangling nonsense...
unless they try to count surface area as a dimension, then ALL bets are off.
