The Sophist 10: The one about Jeff's loving explorations

“Loving exploration?” asked my friend. “Jeff Bezos says he’s split up with his wife after a period of loving exploration?” It means shagging around, I replied. She knew this, of course, but she was still surprised that he had said it almost out loud, because she is British and lives in Britain, whereas he is Billionaireish and lives on the West Coast of America, where it is now completely normal to open up your floundering marriage in an effort to save it, and to talk about that out loud. It is also completely normal that after opening up your floundering marriage, ie doing the shagging around, and talking about it out loud, you will get divorced, with a statistical likelihood of roughly 100%, but hell, why let that rob you of the opportunity to tick some of the creepier boxes on OK Cupid?
