MORE ON POLYGAMY

(possibly important)

Polygamy provides an UNDERCLASS and OUTLIER solution to specific problems given general failures of the society. At present, that I know of, something like 5% of white westerners have some sort of continuous non exclusive relationship; some larger percentage ‘cheats’ frequently, at least 1/3 ‘cheat’ at some point, and about half of marriages end in divorce.

As we move down the IQ spectrum to increasingly ‘darker’ peoples, we see the center of the distribution change, so that the percentage of long term exclusivity decreases proportionally with intelligence and discipline. We should see increases in polyamory(promiscuity), polygamy(limited promiscuity), serial marriage (more limited promiscuity), and divorce (more limited promiscuity)… and that is what we DO see.

So it is more appropriate to say that we observe a normal distribution of exclusivity and non-exclusivity, with declines in promiscuity and increases in monogamy as the quality of the gene pool increases. But we will never see an end to some % of promiscuity at the top and bottom of the spectrum no matter what we do.

So as an individual and a libertarian I hold the position that

(a) you should do what you want to do.

(b) what you want to do may or many not be ‘good’ objectively, merely preferable for you.

(c) that the community will always favor exclusivity except at the bottom where it is impossible and top where it is unnecessary.

(d) and that as a political question the ‘interests’ of the social group are absolutely in favor of limited promiscuity, which increases the responsibility of intergenerational care taking to the clan, rather than redistributing it to the society.

That said, some of us have shitty families and shitty gene pools so collecting together into polygamous contractual relationships is simply good evolutionary strategy even if it is a bad normative strategy, and as such we should not interfere with those relations, even if we do not sanction them.
