"Polyamory is hilarious because the community is basically 5% genuinely ascended, emotionally hyper-intelligent communication masters who've got nervous systems like a fucking glass lake, and 95% insatiable hungry ghosts who have convinced themselves that they're the former."
In this milestone 1,100th episode, host Chris Williamson cited cultural commentator Cook Fucius to argue that the vast majority of people attempting polyamorous relationships are emotionally unequipped for the lifestyle but refuse to admit it. He claims they mistake themselves for the small minority who genuinely possess the nervous system regulation and communication skills required, using those exceptional cases as justification to continue despite repeated failure.
