"sex with multiples is like cheese...now you understand poly" oh poly is a facile argument made by 110 IQ brights ignorant of Chesterton's fence, evolutionary biology, research on oxytocin, David Friedman / Byrne Hobart thoughts on game theory, commitment, trust & contract law? https://twitter.com/anapsid/status/1201730823843696640 …

3/ As a libertarian, I 100% support the rights of poly folks to practice poly. And maybe, given human biodiversity, some folks are wired for it. I'm not arguing [ here ] "poly is bad". I'm arguing "arguments for poly being good are bad".

4/ Yeah, if my wife wanted / took a boyfriend, it'd be a case of double murder in short order, and then refuse to be taken alive. Better to go out as a legend than be cucked.https://twitter.com/ElamBend/status/1201881196956934147 …

6/ I remember being a precocious 8 or 10 or so and watching 1970s movies made by young hippy directors where the obviously-correct viewpoint character explains to the old fuddy duddies that "we can just not spy on Russia and they won't spy on us", etc >> https://twitter.com/jabocka/status/1201882075126784006 …

7/ ...and this " <slap your forehead> I coulda had a V-8!" very-smart-person logic made total sense to me. Also, I read a ton of science fiction, and knew in my bones that geodesic domes were far superior to regular houses. And that Heinleinian free love was a good idea. >>>

8/ By age 14 or 15 I was starting to see just how dumb a lot of the ideas espoused by the "smart" viewpoint characters were. That's when I started to suspect - though I couldn't explain in detail - that "kinda smart" people could be really dumb.

9/ Whether a binding contract has been signed. And, not that my wife would - in a million years - look elsewhere, but she knew when we first started dating this Morlock Brand addendum to the standard boilerplate. https://twitter.com/lunavis/status/1201883442411126785 …

10/ I might be confused, and it could be his father, Milton Friedman. And it's not on poly so much as on the utility of specialization to learn one spouse's utility function and deliver that product. No cite at hand, but I definitely read it.https://twitter.com/ANiculitcheff/status/1201960360716185603 …

12/ No, I'm not. I know of Patri, and how he was poly, and how it ended in divorce. I'm definitely talking about Milton or David. https://twitter.com/favoredprisoner/status/1202189853724536832?s=19 …https://twitter.com/favoredprisoner/status/1202189853724536832?s=19 …

13/ I've seen poly "work" a few times in former case - which seems far worse than it not working. I subscribe to
@Spivonomist 's concept or codification of "euvoluntary trade", specifically (6) neither party coerced by circumstance; the disparity in BATNAs is not "too large"https://twitter.com/FamishedDragon/status/1202317591332569088 …Show this thread -
14/ Maybe it also works in non-coercive situations ; I've got a few friends / acquaintances who say that they seem to be wired for it, and I have no reason to doubt them. So I'm talking specifically about the "coercion" subset of "works" here.
