Deep philosophical question

That is the entire premise of the logic.
Can't argue with your stance as I agree there is no proof either way. However I think the distinction is more than subtle. And I'm not sure I understand how lack of belief assuages concerns in the way the article describes...
I got married in 1977....Since then I've been alone in houses etc. with some incredibly good looking, intelligent and witty women....
(Also some of the other kind...
)It's never occurred to me to try to get any of them into bed.....
Why?.....Because I love my wife more than life itself and would never knowingly do anything to hurt her in any way.....
She knows this.....As a result, I don't feel the need to be building barriers of any kind.....
Similarly, my wife feels free to be in other men's company without my being present...
As you say though, we all live our lives in different ways....
If it works...it works....

I got married the first time in '95. We had a close friend. He was my drummer and taught with her at an elementary school. He could come into my house and see what was in the fridge before he ever said hello to us.
They had an affair.
Our stories shape our lives. I am thrilled that yours has played out the way it has. I'm just not taking any chances this time around. That being said, I don't force my wife into the same rules. She never hurt me so the problem is not hers. I would not be offended if she had the neighbor guy in our house. O just choose my own path with regard to our marriage based on past experiences. Until she breaks my trust she has a clean slate. She can choose her path too.
At no point was I suggesting that everyone should live the way I do and I hope it didn't come across that way.
You believe in a StarTrek Utopia as the future of mankind. There is no evidence to support the idea that it will work.
It'll probably be cancelled after two years anyway.
You do understand the difference between a hopeful opinion based view of a possible future and the assertion of a fact, right?
Oh that is so very untrue. You should read up on epistemology.

It's okay, go ahead an have one of those good local pizzas you will feel better. Or better still go out with the woman you met at the grocery store. That should do it.

"Ahhhhhh dude, that's lie the third time this week we have gone there. Whoah heavy."
I'm not eating carbs but supermarket girl and I have been texting....
What was the question? There's a good craft brew waiting for me at home.....
The Wayback Machine would be the ultimate history lesson. What better than to actually be there to observe the goings on first hand. When I was kid I use to love watching the old Irwin Allen show "the Time Tunnel"
