For polygamy: Apparently suits male sexual motivations by offering
variety and adventure.
Against polygamy: Tends to limit the gene pool. Tends to encourage
confrontation.
For monogamy: Suits female sexual motivations by providing easier access
to power tools. Diversifies gene pool. Tends to discourage
confrontation.
Against monogamy: Stressful and boring. Causes lawyers.
Provisional conclusion: monogamy is, taking the long term view, probably
better.
Mused on polyandry and female-based sexual selection as opposed to
male-based. Mused on the fact that true monogamy is rarely found 'in the
field'.
Modified provisional conclusion: serial monogamy, which is at least
attainable, is probably better than utopic monogamy.
New premises generated from provisional modified conclusion:
1: Divorce is a good thing.
2: A leading cause of divorce is adultery.
Subsidiary conclusion: adultery is a good thing.
New conclusion: monogamy when combined with adultery is a good thing and
is to be preferred to polygamy or polyandry alone, because it combines
the advantages of all three systems.
Final conclusion: Thou shalt commit adultery.
Best Regards
Blunderov
