    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 14 Oct 2020

    1/ I broadly endorse this. Everyone says that they "hate atomization", and yet none of them want to move back to their home town and live with their parents. Principle of Revealed Preference Rules All Around Me.pic.twitter.com/InEJErJzvR

        2/ "I hate atomization; in 1200 AD everyone had a sense of place, and got fulfillment from their jobs, even if they were boring" Great. Move back to your home town, live with mom and dad, and get a job in the local hardware store.

        3/ "Americans are terrible, and American cities are terrible. Everyone lives in soulless tract homes and there aren't cute little grottos with trees and moss." Buy 3 acres, build a timberframe house, and plant some trees "That sounds like work and I can't get Uber Eats there"

        4/ "Jeff Bezos could take his money and give every poor person in the world $10,000" Great idea. Why don't you stop shopping at Amazon and give just ONE HUNDRED poor people $10 each? "I need that money for Netflix and espresso"

        5/ People push back against any of these suggestions. "But that wouldn't solve everything, all at once". Neither will your continued bitching about things ...but my proposal would at least solve 0.01% of the problem. So it's that much better than your bitching.

        6/ "Yeah, but all of your ideas are HARD. If I moved out to a rural area and built a house, I wouldn't have friends nearby, and my commute to work would be longer." OMFG, ARE YOU SAYING THAT *TRADEOFFS EXIST*? AMAZING!

        7/ Indeed. Also, if it doesn't work out EXACTLY as they envision, they can bitch at Bezos, or the land developer, or whoever for being wreckers who didn't implement their idea the RIGHT way.https://twitter.com/jordanthelawyer/status/1316376983903899648 …

        Some would argue that giving them choices that are easier in the short term but worse in the long term is harming them. I'm genuinely unsure what to do with such people in my model of the world, but empirically there are many.

        9/ The distinction is that I didn't spend my 30s hectoring everyone else that they were Doing It Wrong. Both then and now, I think it's fine for people to live in the country, in the burbs, or the city. Do as you will.https://twitter.com/DreadIlk/status/1316377592769982465 …

        Let's not use absolutes. A lot of us are in the process of doing exactly that. It took you ten years to move.

        10/ shrug if your desired life doesn't work unless 1,000 other people want it too, you've got a collective action problem C.A. problems are solveable via markets, unions, & other tools to a good approximation, people don't want what they say they wanthttps://twitter.com/AnechoicMedia_/status/1316389218877419521 …

        That's a pretty weak argument; No individual can choose to opt-out of collective social forces. Someone pretending to live out of time and place would not individually re-create a community, while surrendering access to the relocated job and mating marketplace.

        Do which? “move back to their home town and live with their parents”? or “buy 3 acres, build timber frame home, plant trees”? Even our hyperproductive Morlock didn’t start his move until prompted to by … unusual persuasive circumstances.
