    it’s a nice diagram, but it’s not a Venn diagram

        bunch of overlapping rectangles….

        a venn diagram shows all possible intersections within groups… and is kinda pointless past 4….

        this one seems to be just intentionally over complicating things for entertainment

          I’m pretty sure “intentionally over complicating things for entertainment” overlaps significantly with most forms of “Non-monogamy”, and with “the human experience”. ;-) The pertinent question is, which of these rectangles/ explanatory examples fits for a given person, and which one’s don’t? I believe this diagram was developed to help us understand where we fit in the poly-schema we’ve developed.

            no… it’s completely useless for explaining anything…
            like, see how religious non monogamy doesn’t overlap with commerce?
            the point of a venmo diagram is to visually represent if there’s something in that overlap or not.

            this might help you understand

            it’s basically satire of a venn diagram….

              Umm, I’m just the messenger. Wanna see if you can talk with Franklin, the author? I linked his blog.

        e.g. the religious one only intersects with unicorn….
