    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 was going to correct you but you’re actually right. The term for this is a Euler diagram. I think they’re more useful.

      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….
