What are the salient aspects?

- how structure of ecnmy is affecting changes in marriage norms - Unpacking variables involved. Basically I suspect need to believe in internal compounding of pairwise utility for monogamy to be dominant. Which I do - how much focus allocation should be on relationship - etcetc

On 2 - why would people not believe in compounding of utility? (Unless they have dysfunctional attachment styles I guess)

On 3 - I've been considering this recently. Long-term partner and I are in a LDR, and both work unpredictable schedules, but large chunks of time off. Probably more 'quality time' spent on the relationship despite this than people who work predictable 9-5 commuter jobs

oh, that's interesting. There's whole separate much larger sphere of thought I'd say that falls into category of. Which I'd roughly summarize by saying I think we vastly underestimate utility throughput we can have at the head of our relationship curve (curve being x axis:

closeness/trust with person/group and yaxis: resonance/throughpout). I think we're at 8% not 80% efficacy of throughput at head of curve. Whole curve can get pushed out--but we don't even realize some levels of trust/closesness that are possible and then improved resonance.

I'd love to see an OLD profile written in these terms

Haha what is OLD?
