it should tell you something about what a rudderless charlatan he is, that he was so quick to shrug off his whole thesis on the necessity of hierarchy, responsibility and self-betterment to endorse the social provision of partners, lol

OK then, and mail-order foreign brides too. All other partners come from society, and the availability of a partner depends on social structure, mores and conventions. Which have changed, are changing, and will change again.

You know what I meant, don't be obtuse. Social in the sense of social safety net, social welfare, social programs.
-
And if you're talking about politics, that's a common and normal meaning. If you're talking about social forms, like, say, Jordan Peterson, it's necessary for "social" to mean "social", not "state".
-
Could you expand on where "social forms" end and policy begins? How is the form implemented?
-
Are you seriously asking me what society is, and whether there is any society outside the state? I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure there is.

If you're hung up on the word "policy", substitute it for community practice, then. Or common law. Or manners. What I'm saying is that he always dances around expressing in concrete terms what he wants to see happen.

He lets people quizzically infer what he means, then either says "maybe!" or "no not that, silly"
-
Well I'm either going to have to find out what he actually said or agree with you he was very vague, so it's much easier to agree with you. But that doesn't even begin to imply he "shrugged off his whole thesis on the necessity of hierarchy, responsibility and self-betterment".
