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 …

Himbo sapiens @yashkafReplying to @MorlockPInstead 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?1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

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 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,
Freelance Beach Bum @FamishedDragonReplying to @MorlockPIf your marriage is held together by uncommon means (position of power, great wealth/business between two families, celebrity status), poly can work. If your marriage is held together by intimate love and family bonds, poly is guaranteed to ruin it. I've not seen an exception1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow 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.
