The Esalen Incident
In the 1970s at the Esalen Institute a group of very smart people with PhD's attempted to make a semi-scientific inquiry into the validity and robustness of living in a closed polyamorous community. The experiment failed, as despite their best intentions of seeing and interacting with everyone "equally", the typical human behaviors of favoritism, jealousy, ostracism etc broke down relationships and made it impossible to keep harmony.
Anon: "So what's going on at Esalen this decade?"
