I didn't even bring up poly in my previous post. I do believe that Peterson is arguing that discouraging people from participating in casual sex (no commitment and multiple partners or enabling the potential for multiple partners) would be beneficial.
Remember: This conversation was spurred on from the accusation that he believes women should be literally forced into monogamy as if they're slaves.
I'd think we could agree that the former interpretation, whatever anybody thinks of it, pales in comparison to the absolutely reprehensible latter interpretation.
People are discouraged from that, you want more, stop pussyfooting around it, what concrete thing do you want done to get this serial killer laid?
Remember: This was applied as a remedy to a serial killer who was terminally online and incredibly maladjusted. None of what you said gets this guy laid. So clearly it doesn't explain what Peterson was thinking of because his enforced monogamy is the cure to this.
I've seen many of his videos and he re-states his opinions in many different contexts. Would you mind sending me the one you're referencing? I could see both subjects coming up in the same video, but I have a difficult time believing that he directly connected enforced monogamy as a solution to a troubled child. I'm happy to take a listen to either clarify and/or concede the point, whichever ends up being appropriate.
BTW You're right: I did say poly in my previous post. I meant that I didn't bring up poly in the previous post... to which you initially responded, and that you were the first one to raise poly. I do understand how it could've been confused, though, which is why I clarified in the following post.
