  2. Rigid rules can protect cooperation when motives are opaque.

    Why human societies adopt rigid moral rules: The efficiency–robustness trade-off
    pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2535

    Rigid norms function as social technologies that trade efficiency for robustness against strategic defection, extending the domain of cooperation by eliminating exploitable ambiguity.

    Flexibility maximizes welfare when there is trust, rigidity preserves cooperation when trust is fragile. This explains why rigid rules are common when others are perceived as unreliable.

    When you pedestrate (?!) on sidewalks or paths where no cars or bikes are allowed, only pedestrians, which side do you walk on?

  6. I only recently learned that there’s actually a term for the improvised paths created by walkers taking shortcuts across lawns and such. They are called desire paths (!). In my talk tomorrow at the Israeli philosophy meeting I will use them to illustrate how #norms and social #resistance interact.

But it’s a symptom of a collapse in #values & #norms that, unless confronted & reversed, may herald the end of the #American #experiment. We should heed the words of the #Stoic #philosopher #Seneca about the rise & fall of the #Roman #Republic: 'Increases are of sluggish #growth, but the way to ruin is rapid.'"

  10. As the divide between the "haves" and the "have-nots" widens, it is important to speak out and make it painfully obvious that we are being ripped off and criminally exploited.

    Normalize resistance, make it publicly acceptable to speak truth to power, and do not be reduced to a factotum.

  17. A quotation from Horace

    The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
    But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
    If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
    And lend to good advice a patient ear.
     
    [Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
    nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
    si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1 “To Maecenas,” l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]

  21. I keep thinking about this piece, which is the closest thing I’ve seen to a complete reckoning of the #damage #Trump is inflicting on the #US and the rest of us. I think it’s probably right in identifying the wholesale obliteration of the #norms of #American #democracy as one of the most significant

  29. 2/n…of course discussion is to be encouraged regardless. Still, #DAVOS seemed to have more immediacy in dealing with the subject matter and for obvious reasons.
    #MarkCarney really properly framed the real tensions as between #Hegemons, #Oligarchy and the idea that democracies should bow to Kings whether they be real or products of utter delusion.
    What #HillaryClinton actually says is that the idea of #Norms isn’t just about western ideals. They are about human survival in general
