@ThiamineP interesting - so many of our narratives are about the nice hero who ignores the norm and befriends the outcast.
@sarahdoingthing abt the Christian, the Jew and the Mohammedan trading on the exchanges w/o killing each other.

@St_Rev ok do I still get to do compassionate euthanasia on street harassers though? -
@sarahdoingthing Not until they touch you, then you can shoot them. -
@St_Rev what if you cross the street to avoid them and they follow, in a group? -
@sarahdoingthing Kinda not seeing where you're going with this. -
@St_Rev just that there are lots of broken-window norms shy of physical violence that make the world awful if not upheld -
@sarahdoingthing That is: I strongly doubt anyone has reliable heuristics for separating net-harm norms from net-benefit norms. -
@St_Rev yes, this is extremely true - also, we have no bloody clue how they interact with each other, which is complicated. -
@sarahdoingthing eeeeeyup. Economic calculation is looking for the lost glasses under the streetlight.
