    Depends on whose objecting. This arrangement pretty much only works at scale with a combination of religious brainwashing, inequality between and amongst the genders, and a healthy dose of male mortality especially from war.

    Inequality among a gender: For instance if bob and Sam both make 70k 5 women aren’t all marrying one or the other in most instances.

    Inequality between the genders: Given a complex life path beyond follow in husband’s shadow no matter what or become a parish the chance of instability with more people increases with each member added.

    So the first obvious person to object to broad enactment of this idea ought to be women raised to buy into this when it’s not their best option.

    Next is society for such groups brainwashing kids.

    Then there is the downside of the enabling inequality. Anyone not on the top end of the financial spectrum ought to object to that.

    Women ought to object to the idea that they ought to share.

    Men not in the top 5-20% ought to object to competing for the remaining women not attached to high status males. Note this is what incels say they are mad about now but there is so much to unpack re their broken brains and it’s just not at this juncture real.

    Society should be mad at the very large number of unattached men who normally cause trouble.

    Some such societies deal with this by trading women like Pokemon cards and driving off excess men. This doesn’t work without wars to kill them off or somewhere to drive them to.

    Basically everyone but a smallish minority of men would be worse off which is why this is non existent in modern functioning society.

    There little net effect on society with a small incidence of polygomy just like with lead in the water.





  • Defrauding the government for things you cannot possibly provide isn’t really showing your companies quality. Apple actually makes things people use and makes a ton of money doing it. Elon makes bad cars and spaceships that blow up a LOT. Neither of these is actually profitable without welfare. He is good at high stakes welfare fraud whilst Apple is good at actually earning money.

    Its planning on getting a massive welfare infusion for a fake missile defense system it will never be able to make work while the government it now half owns is planning on tariffing most of the leading brands of cars. Meanwhile the only inherently profitable thing it actually does which is to say make cars its doing very poorly at.

    Apple is doing incredibly well at selling phones and computers but the Trump administration is not only threatening to tariff stuff made overseas they specifically threatened to tariff iPhones specifically.

    So in brief Apple stock is going down despite being great at its business whilst Tesla is on its way back up even as people won’t buy their cars. Its just corruption.


  • Industrial civilization pre-dated me and my cat being from a shelter would have come into being without me. We all do what we can with what control we can. My cat is too stupid to protect himself because he doesn’t understand the risk of cars and not speaking english it’s difficult to teach him. Instead I choose to explore the outdoors with him instead of letting him roam and almost certainly get lost or killed because I’m not a moron and I don’t let my cat wander around a city.

    Cats can live 20 years but most wont make it more than 3 outside because their instincts are ill suited for the circumstances.

    This is an interesting question. Given a sufficiently functional environment “Raymond” may be functionally harmless as its impossible to for him to have anything crazy he wants. In a functional enough one he wont even admit the crazy shit he believes because it would see him excluded and possibly fired.

    Do we then consider him eccentric instead of a POS? Is a sex murder a “nice” if he’s behind bars and we only talk to him about normal stuff and forget that he would gladly rape and murder you without the bars?

    At some point we need to understand that someone who would take away your rights and potentially kill you if you didn’t roll over and accept his dominion isn’t “nice” just because he exists in an environment where he isn’t in a position to work his will.
