Autocratic goverment gets all your personal info, and chooses a mate for you. This is beyond incentives, it is just perverse!

Honestly, the levels of desperation and despair I'm seeing in the hellscape that is modern dating, I think a lot of people would sign up for this. I probably would if I were single. It's very similar to how matchmakers work, and they're popular all over the world, and have been for millennia. They're an unbiased and impartial judge and coach. We all have enormous biases and weaknesses in so many ways, and we could all do with help to better ourselves.

The important distinction here is no one is forced to marry anyone. This is entirely optional.

> desperation and despair

Desperation is from government, because many people just checked out. There are many nicer activities, such as hiking.

> unbiased and impartial judge and coach.

Gov has super strong biases, just the way they punish (or not punish at all) different groups, for the same crime.

> forced to marry anyone.

In every practical way you will be forced to marry. Common law marriage, alimony...

I am also pretty disillusioned with government right now, and I share your views on common law marriage and alimony, but I see this as one of the few things a government is doing right.

>Autocratic goverment gets all your personal info

They got your birth record, your education records, your bank account details, your employment record. They can write themselves a warrant to dig through your life. The government already knows all this.

>chooses a mate for you.

You're not forced to marry whoever you match with in the app.

>This is beyond incentives, it is just perverse!

ok this is just slop

Oh, yes, all of Asia is one jurisdiction.

Where in the 48 countries in Asia this is like that? Are you reducing the largest, most populated, and most diverse continent on Earth to a single country?
