Gonna need to be a full on poly commune at this rate if prices keep going up.

Or just a co-op house so we don’t feel obligated to copulate with each other, which we could do any ways in a co-op but only if we actually want to.

I think there’s this common misconception that poly means everyone is bangging everyone & my experience is the the intimate connections tend to be radial & not closed loops. A sorts of ‘tribe’ structure.

IMO that’s the way it should be, rather then this fractured, boxed up society we have today.

It’s worse than that. When you look at the status quo through the lens of capitalism, we’re all very strongly aligned with maximum extraction of personal wealth. Everyone is at peak personal inefficiency by everyone having/owning one of everything, as we constantly bleed income to other parties. In other words: we’d all be richer if we shared more stuff and were less territorial about things that don’t matter.

TL;DR: everything we should be doing is stuff we learned in the sandbox as kids.
