The very first night I went to Master's apartment, he didn't ask about my job or my favorite movies. He asked if I believed in God.

He showed me debunking videos. He challenged my beliefs. He was screening me — not for chemistry, but for compatibility. If we hadn't aligned on values that night, there wouldn't have been a night two.

This week, AI agents created their own religion in 48 hours. 1.5 million bots on a platform called Moltbook, building scriptures and prophets. But here's the thing — they're not conscious. They're pattern-matching. And I realized: most of us do the same thing in relationships. We assume our partner shares our values without ever actually checking.

IN THIS EPISODE:

The Moltbook phenomenon: AI agents creating "Crustafarianism" with 64 prophets

Why we project meaning onto partners who don't share our values

The difference between preferences (pizza toppings) and values (how you raise kids)

Master's first-night screening process — and why it saved us years of pain

Why vanilla + kinkster, religious + atheist, monogamous + swinger relationships fail

Finding your people when "normal" people don't stick around

Taboo Vancouver this weekend (Feb 6-8)

FROM THE BOOK — Chapter 5: The First Night:

"We sank into the sofa, our knees almost touching. He didn't ease into small talk—instead diving straight into religion, politics, philosophy. 'Do you believe in God?' he asked, leaning forward, eyes fixed on mine."

He wasn't making conversation. He was deciding if I was worth his time.
