7/ unfettered markets are always the best way to optimize allocation of resources with in the market ...but there's a hidden gotcha buried in there. What's "in" the market, and what's outside?https://twitter.com/TheLumpenprole/status/1435959710822412288 …

8/ If property and factories and coins are privately owned, but rivers are unowned, then the market will optimize trading coins for widgets from the factory ...and the rivers will end up filled with waste and effluent.

9/ If rivers are privately owned but there are no property rights in factories (as per, say, Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom) then all of the machines in factories will end up broken inside of a week, but the rivers will be clean.

10/ If male bodies, female bodies, and abortion clinics are all privately owned, but marriage is an unenforceable contract, then there will be a very efficient market in sex without strings attached which does a near perfect job of allocating sex to the men who most "deserve" it

11/ but the bottom 30% of men will be single, the bottom 50% of men will be childless, and the top 10% of men will cycle through girlfriends and/or wives every 5-10 years. This has negative externalities on children, but children have no enforceable right to have two parents,,,

12/ I don't quite follow this, but
@TheLumpenprole is always an interesting thinker, so I will dwell on this more and try to unpack it fullyhttps://twitter.com/TheLumpenprole/status/1435960154999201792 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,
Red Headed Steppeson @TheLumpenproleReplying to @TheLumpenprole @MorlockPThus, there is the esoteric dualism of men as the actors and agents as they are also the ones most moved and acted on by social dynamics, while women are less active agents individually yet as a class hold the power of social structure.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @MorlockP
So, the traditional dynamic is men are actors, they have agency and responsibility, good or ill. Women do not, they are not agent but are acted upon. We ascribe less responsibility to them yet they are also protected. Yet, on a social level, women define the space and rules.

Women, far more than men, define social norms and structures. Men are therefor agents in a social space defined by women. Women, as a class, are the agents in defining social structure, while men, as individuals, are the agents inside it.

Heck, to get very esoteric and gnostic, there is an aspect of 'homemaking' that is essential to women, as they define the home that everyone will live in, on a sort of metaphysical level.

this is how it works in a patriarchy, for sure, but observationally, when women are, for lack of a better word, "feral", they create an entirely different and less pro-civilizational environment
