    I don’t like the idea of polyamory. It feels wrong to me. But when it’s consenting adults (or parties of mutual age in teens), there’s no argument against it.

    That’s a big problem with people: not being able to reconcile their feelings with rationality. My feelings are irrelevant to how other people conduct their lives when it doesn’t affect anyone else. I think that’s a key component in having an open mind: to challenge your own feelings, to say, “I don’t like it, and that feeling is objectively wrong. I need to actively check my behavior so I don’t impose that feeling on others.”

    It’s fine to have those feelings and good to acknowledge them, but you still have to think it all the way through.
