I don’t understand this. In practice I see people doing “norm talk” and also, in other discussions, talking about all those substantive issues as well. They’re not trying to reduce EVERYTHING to norms, or even most things. Or am I just misunderstanding the word “norm”?https://twitter.com/stevenmklein/status/994742177187102725 …
I get suspicious when people differentiate between norms and political policy. What if the functional end state that you desire for society is one where people can express their ideas freely however repulsive. Is free speech a norm or a policy goal at this point
