Sometimes I have a crazy intuition like “if people just categorically refused to work with anybody who seemed untrustworthy or “fake” or trying to take advantage, the world would be better.”

This is crazy because people need to work to survive and what if their only options are people who are trying to take advantage? I get that. It’s not a practical proposal.

But all the actual productive capacity of the economy is in people who are making positive-sum contributions. The “nation” of positive-sum builders and helpers is, by necessity, richer than the “nation” of zero-sum takers. In actual resources if not dollars.

Imagine if everyone went on a sort of “strike” all at once: don’t work with or for anyone you think is sleazy or unfair. Don’t do any job you think is pointless or immoral. Just actually listen to your personal judgment. Would everyone starve?

And just because someone is unpleasant doesn't mean they net destroy value. The beauty of markets is they function as a universal API for value & trade. Abstract out the sleaze. Destroy this and you destroy the economy and return us to scrabbling in dirt in little kin groups.

Yeah, I think the forces and intuitions that Sarah is talking about naturally want to return us to the scale of these small kin groups. If you have to personally care about the moral implications of everything you touch then you have to live in a small group.
