>I'm guessing Barnard would spend a day with a different wife, for 5000 days, instead of all of them simultaneously.

I am afraid wife #1 will be knocking on your bedroom door after 3 days have passed, so you get hopelessly stuck here :wink:

Well, I want to see how you are doing after a couple of weeks and watch if you still like this plan!

I agree with you Barnard, what the hell is Nelson talking about? ....oh, maybe his wife reads the forum as well:wink:
Parent - By Barnard (Bronze) Date 2012-03-01 22:05

> For my part, I'd like to go from my current sphere of maybe 50 (at most) to 10 or less.  Does that make me a sub-ape?  No.  It makes me practical.  Imagine if you knew and personally cared about 5,000 people


Of course 5,000 wives would be ridiculous.  But that doesn't explain your desire to go from a sphere of 50 to 10.  Just as a person's capacity for work and achievement expands as he or she DOES more.  A person's ability to serve and love a larger group of people expands as he or she DOES more of it!

Your brand of thought is limiting.  Somewhere between trying to save the whole world and your downsizing to 10 is the correct sphere.

What IF everyone tried to expand his or her sphere by one person every two months.  Or even one a year.  What if we were more thoughtful towards others around us? Whenever we step outside of ourselves to see a bigger picture our own smaller picture (ourselves) grows because of it.

> 50 years ago he bought thousands of acres of undeveloped land and planned the whole community, which thrived.  The first three letters of the town, RES, are his initials.  What a happy life, huh?


What is wrong with that life? IF it is something that he is proud of and wanted to do?  Your critique seems unfounded.

You misunderstand me.  I do not criticize my town's founder.  I would say that his was a well-lived life. 

As for my desire to intensify my tribalism down to strictly my close blood relatives, that's not really an unusual wish when you get older.  There is joy in simplicity.

Okay, sorry about that.  I did misread that sentence.

I can wholeheartedly agree with the simplicity sentiment!  However I have noticed that the more I am able to serve people (whether it be through pure altruism or just going way out of my way in my profession) that the more I am able to do.  I end up accomplishing more for myself and more for others as I have expanded my sphere of caring and ability. And I have a different perspective on how things are.

Of course inner circles is important!  We must stress importance on those closest to us, but I do think extending our circles even if it is momentarily makes us better at everything.

This has already been discussed here. The optimal number is three.

I say: one wife and two concubines.

No, just small neocortex :grin:

Try to imagine having 5,000 wives, for example.  Sounds good for about two seconds, then...the horror, the horror!

I think 7 women are enough to 'kill you', no matter how good they are looking :twisted:

According to our mythology Lord Krishna had 16000 wives apart from 7 mainstream wives + 1 he loved and didn't marry. Just Think about his stamina!!!
