"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 …

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.

Instead of going after some dumb Reddit cheese analogy you can consider the case that your spouse's utility function can't be satisfied by a single partner (eg, it includes both "predictable security" and "unpredictable sexual novelty"). Is double murder really your only answer?
-
if someone's utility function can't be satisfied in monogamy it's on them to be up-front about that fact and refrain from entering a relationship with someone who is extremely determined on monogamy (likewise the converse)

I believe you’re thinking of David’s son,
@patrissimo who used to buy the poly arguments but now has become more trad and written about it some. If Milton or David have written about poly I’d be really curious to read that though.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
