You are the only person ascribing it magical powers. The majority definitely do not and are well aware of the limitations, the problem with priors is talked about all the time in the community in much more detail.

Another thing frequently discussed in those circles.

Some people being sexually adventurous in California, the horror.

That’s the problem, they shouldn’t be discussing it ;)

I could’ve said “joining cults like Leverage” instead of polycules but that would be mean. However like I did say, the problem with being a young man who gets into an open relationship because you rationally determined it was optimal is, you’re wrong and your girlfriend is going to leave you.

If you’re going to have weird sex, at least have a more fun reason for it. (There’s a tweet I want to link here about a rationalist nude sex party where they all sat around discussing immigration politics instead of having said adventures, but unfortunately I can’t remember how to spell Aeolla to find it.)
