light downvoted but explaining why to give opportunity to reply and disagree. Meta level : - Lack of any explanation, just references some locally appreciated thing - yet it had already 8 upvotes which look like ingroup “I got that reference” instead of “This comment is beneficial to LW” - analogies are bad if you don’t give their boundaries. If I say “x is like y” without specifying along which properties or axis it’s generally low information.
on object level : - I don’t see polyamory as being much of an answer to “avoid monopolies on your emotional needs”. - It kinda maps to “diversify one’s investments” on a surface level but I’d say you expose yourself to more risk with polyamory than not, while diversifying is supposed to reduce risks.

Honestly yeah, good points.
