Rigid rules can protect cooperation when motives are opaque.
Why human societies adopt rigid moral rules: The efficiency–robustness trade-off
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2535467123Rigid 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Keeping #girls in school is one way we can break the cultural, religious and traditional #norms that have always undermined #womenempowement and #womenemancipation.
I today took a snapshot with some girl student at Municipal High Humanist School , am happy some lucky ones are listed under the Kasese Humanist Orphans

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 -

Australia’s blokey culture and rigid gender roles
What it means to be a man in Australia:
"Young NSW men admit to sexually harassing women. More than a quarter of young New South Wales men who participated in a recent survey agreed that “men should use violence to get respect if necessary”, and over one-third admitted to sexually harassing a woman in the past month."

"There's actually a whole range of possible #norms between "egg prime directive" and "if anyone seems like an egg, mock them over it. It's for their own good""
"Yeah like. Being invasively overfamiliar with #strangers #online is generally a shitty way to act even if you think they're performing their gender weirdly! And, like with basically all intimate personal sharing, the lines are in #fact different if you actually know each other, or are close friends!"
