Ben and I are doing separate research for our first Panopticon throw down. I say we’re doing separate research, he’s diligently combing the internet for solid sources and useful stats whilst I’m going to check ChatGPT twenty minutes before the deadline and rely on rhetorical flourish.

I jest. I will also be doing research. Just at the very last minute as per my controversial self diagnosis. We're both going to sharpening our wits, polishing our ego-armour and getting ready for a word based joust.

The issue up for grabs….

Marriage.

1. a. : the state of being united as spouses in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law. (Merriam Webster)

Ben is going to be arguing FOR marriage. He’s married, a Christian and believes it to be a force for good in the world. He’s going to argue that marriage remains both relevant and socially important in the modern age.

Perhaps now more than ever.

I don’t believe in God or marriage so I will be taking the AGAINST position. Namely, marriage has conceptually run its course and should be consigned to the dustbin of history before it can do any more damage to the fabric of society.

It’s going to be spicy and no holds barred — I have already got my spangly Macho-Penguin-Randy-Savage onesie out of the wash.

But don’t worry, nobody is going to get blocked. Nobody is going to get offended. We’re not going to agree to disagree — we’re just going to outright disagree and have a great fun doing so.

And you can watch the fireworks from afar or join in if you want.

This is the Panopticon. Disagreement is part of what it means to be here and part of what sharing ideas and personal insights look like. So bring both your hot take and your wisdom. Simply use ‘Panopticon’ as one of your tags and we’ll find your piece.

Married, single, divorced, young, old, vicars, marriage counsellors, couples, throuples, polycules, LGBTQ+, straight, child brides, anyone and everyone is invited to join the discussion.

All we ask is you keep it respectful. Whatever your thoughts on marriage are we’re keen to hear from y‘all (am I using that right?)

Haven’t heard about the Panopticon? Arrived here accidentally cos you saw a muscular soldier squaring off against a cartoon Penguin and accidentally got confused or aroused?

Don’t worry, we got you covered.

Here’s Ben’s announcement article to get you up to speed.
