I think our difficulty comes from making something complex and difficult that is actually very easy. What kind of future do we prepare our children for? Excellence in human relationship. That’s not going to change. Whatever else changes, that will always be the same.... also boundaries tend to be the most intimate places. Like when someone touches your skin softly (doesn’t have to be sexual, could be a cat for example) it often feels more intimate than a hard push.... Point: Humans are largely monogamous; it’s instinctual Counterpoint: How would we know if its cultural versus biological versus systemic versus psychological per person/family?... - annabeth...

My life feels like a sitcom, I'm always IRL with friends, often just running into them out and about. We're sharing cars and meals and dances. I can hear the piano in the background as I write this.... - zookatron...
You seem to be pointing to the mix-up that people often make between practical possibility and theoretical possibility. I.e. even if it is theoretically possible for me to move this big rock given the right tools, if I'm just a weak person with no tools it may simply be... I guess I also have some slight derision toward Zuck—like he's talking about 'tradeoffs' and not ontologies, so he definitely is not looking at things from the right level of what's going on.... also taking into account (your other post about the "versus" mentality)[https://uptrusting.com/post/wBzL1P], I like you bringing up the distinction between heterosexual… My view is probably distorted by one particular close friend haha, but most of the gay male couples I know...
