A tiny number of people have the necessary depth and tenacity to pull off stable polyamory. @sentientist and @primalpoly are an excellent bet. Is poly better for those who can pull it off? Only absent kids. Even then, only maybe. Also, widespread poly is dangerous to civilizationhttps://twitter.com/InfinityJames/status/1105794853215092736 …
Let's have a proper discussion about this somewhere, sometime! I'm against anything that's an actual danger to civilization, but TBH polyamory doesn't make my top 10 list of existential threats....

Yes. I feel as though we have been headed for that conversation for some time. I look forward to it.

I don’t think the criteria should be wether it’s an existential threat or not. Things can be be very bad ideas even if they are unlikely to drive extinction.

Yes. This is why it's important not to overstate the pros or cons of any particular mating system.

Polyamory is no more or less banal than monogamy.

I think open polyamory in many ways seems to have similar problems as Marxism - it just goes against the grain most of time. We have evolved sexual strategies to incorporate cheating, obviously - even sometimes unacknowledged "open" affairs - but open affairs seem to breed hate.

Maybe "hate" is too strong. But just problems in general.
