Well, *somebody* did try... I forgot who. 😒

Moral anti-realism is not

You guys want to move this to <#586033832277442590> ?

No

Sorry

My new bitchute avatard:

Thank you <my state>

Why were people buying though

Because there are other Florida men

@Salacious Swanky Cat the only argument you have against polygamy from a biblical stance that's semi consistent is that at one point God was like 👌then later was like 🙅‍♂️

And idk why discord adds the gender emoji.

That may be his only argument.....

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@uncephalized What do you mean by "worked", as polygamist societies tended/tend to be far more hostile.

@Shadows it works under certain circumstances that usually come about after hostility.

It doesn't just come after hostility, it actively creates it also.

polygamy causes conflict because it creates competition of for limited resources

That it does.

@Shadows "worked" means "survived for long periods of time"

@DJ_Anuz just wants a harem. How does a world come about with so many more women that polygamy is necessary? A natural disaster will kill as many men as women. As does a a nuclear bomb or another war with modern arms... They will either be over quickly without killing even 1% of the population or pretty much everyone will die, man and woman alike.

No it's clearly an adaptation to a warlike society where men die far more frequently than women.

In the more primitive/tribal warfare scenario where the majority of the men are combatants.

Inner city gang cultures would be a good analogue in the modern society.

Well yes but those times are over. You are talking not hundreds but thousands of years ago.

some of that can be made up by the age range of sexual viability though, older men can still be reproductive

I doubt that even as little as 10% of inner city youths are killed violently..

If you count "in jail" as "temporarily dead" then the number is much higher.

also inner city culture doesnt really proof that one man with multiple women is such a great concept

I didn't say it was great.

I said it was functional

but how many of them get out early/often enough to impregnate someone

Less than they would if they weren't in prison at all.

These things are not binary.

Take the average percentage of life spent in prison by gang members during peak reproductive age 16-40. That is the equivalent of killing off that percent of the male population and should have an equivalent effect on the rate of polygamy.

I'm off to sleep, if anyone still cares about this later i could pick it back up. If not, we need some more pictures!

@scaevola fuck dude. One wife is enough work for me. God forbid I had multiple. That's one thing about polygamy I don't get. Who the fuck wants to care for multiple women? One is bad enough, sure you can have more sex, but is that really worth all the work and splitting of resources?

@scaevola
I gotta speak up for @DJ_Anuz...
I actually *do* want a harem. And it's dozens, at most, years... Not hundreds. (RIP, Sir Terry... 😥)
@Shadows, correlation is not causation; Polygamy doesn't cause violent societies. Indeed, the underlying violence in societies seem, at least in some cases, to create the polygamous societies.

Although it is well known that an abundance of celebate males does result in violence. @Mandatory Carry

¿Does it? ¿You know this how exactly?

Because we've seen it manifest throughout many societies.
