I'm generally of the opinion that honesty and mutual cooperation with people are the path to a better future for everyone, but it must be noted that for this purpose neither your boss nor your landlord counts as a person.

Why can't I afford to try cooperate? What's on the line - a few thousand dollars? Bad renters/employees can easily inflict much bigger costs. Sure, others are in more precarious situations than me. But it's funny how everyone's against defecting except when it's an outgroup.
I feel like "What's on the line - a few thousand dollars?" is a question that means this conversation isn't going to go anywhere useful.

We're trying to build a society that's able to cooperate on big picture issues, like how to allocate power and who gets sent to jail. If we advocate auto-defecting even on standard, typical landlord/boss interactions (which are much less weighty) then we auto-lose the big ones.

Huh, that's the first time I've been blocked on Twitter. Thought this was a fairly civil conversation, but I guess it's a topic people are sensitive about. Oh well.pic.twitter.com/GkZdA4Xq7l
