      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Fenton Wood

      1/ I worked at one startup full of MIT poly nerds in the late 1990s. All of the rhetoric was about fairness and caring...and yet every single poly relationship I saw was built on an asymmetrical power relationship where the person with the highest SMV took advantage of it >>>https://twitter.com/WoodFenton/status/1497237911393034244 …

      The poly stuff. 😬 Makes me glad that my female readers are all trad moms. The spat with mrs. Eigen reminded me of the time I thought 2 guys were about to fight and I backed away only to realize they were joking.😅

      2/ to squeeze as much freedom of action / optionality out of the imbalance as possible for themselves. It was the exact OPPOSITE of charitable giving ; it looked extractive, stressful, and misery-producing.

      3/ This is not to say that it doesn't work for some people (I mean, I'd bet against it, but I don't have hard data), or that it should be illegal ...but the contingent optionality of it, the lack of euvoluntary trade (bc of power imbalances) ... it sure starts off handicapped.

      4/ There are [ at least ] two ways to analyze this: one through a Christian framework, and one through an economics / game theory framework. I think they both reach identical conclusions [ which is one of the things that convinced me, in college, that Christianity was true ...

      5/ or, rather, that both Christianity and traditional western culture and ethics are true The fact that Christian and traditional norms reach ahead to stable equilibria doesn't prove that it's theologically true...but it shows that they're not naive, and work with actual humans

      6/ The fact that Milton Friedman and traditional western culture both reach the same conclusion on the benefits of life long monogamy is certainly interesting.

      It is not proof, but when a model reliably reaches ahead to stable equilibria that match up with reality, and that the model becomes *more* reliable in complex situations (rather than less), it's a strong indication that the underpinnings of that model are built on truth. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1497243130919276546 …

      I've been trying to work this into a pitch to my normie friends for a while. A "Sowell's Wager" where we make the 2x2 chart on unconstrained vs constrained vision. Uncon true / constr behavior is just slower progress Uncon false / uncon behavior is disaster. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1497243130919276546 …

          I could write a whole thread on my observations on poly relationships and how they self-destruct. They have a very predictable life cycle and tend to fall into one of three or four different patterns, none of them stable in the long term.
