      I dunno, my lifehack was figuring out a long time ago that doing the dishes is widely considered unpleasant but is actually pretty easy to do compared to cookinghttps://twitter.com/morninggloria/status/1334707674584207360 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Erin justice breyer please retire RyanVerified account @morninggloria
      A lot of partnered people who “discovered” they “love to cook” during the pandemic actually simply “hate doing the dishes” and have figured out a way to hack egalitarian household division of labor

      Replying to @arthur_affect

      Honestly the trick to chore splitting is to concentrate on equalizing frustration level first and effort second.

      I've actually thought about this and how the idea of comparative advantage from Econ 101 is poisonous in human relationships The joke "A compromise is an arrangement where everyone is equally miserable" is cynical but it's how it ultimately has to work

      If everyone does what makes the most sense for them to do, and this arrangement makes Person A very fulfilled and happy but it makes Person B constantly bored and miserable, Person B will eventually lose their shit It's human nature

      If A is that fulfilled and happy all the time, doesn't that mean they have enough mental energy to take on a little more work to help B out?

      Replying to @Jesin00 @ComradeGorbash

      The econ concept of comparative advantage is directly arguing against this, it's saying that it's a waste for Person A to ever do any task other than the one thing Person A is best at

      Like if Person A is a master chef then everyone benefits if Person A does nothing but cook Any day Person A doesn't cook and takes a turn cleaning up instead is a day everyone has to eat worse food for no good reason

      Replying to @arthur_affect @Jesin00 @ComradeGorbash

      Meanwhile, since doing the dishes is a relatively easy job that anyone can do as well as anyone else, and Person B doesn't have anything they're particularly good at, it just makes sense that Person B do the dishes every time so that Person A can focus on cooking

      Replying to @arthur_affect @Jesin00 @ComradeGorbash

      Comparative advantage translates into the stuff you hear about like "the 10x engineer" etc Basically that the really creative, difficult, complex jobs should only be done by people who are really really good at them, everyone else should get out of their way and do their chores

      It makes mathematical sense when you have it explained to you, if you accept all the underlying assumptions It's just that all the Person Bs out there will eventually find this psychologically intolerable

          It also is common for people to think they're person As when they're strictly O material. And it's also very common for people to forget that you're not always at your best, longitudinally

          Economic theory applied to humans seems to always wind up inhumane in the end. Turns out, humans are more complicated.

          It makes perfect sense. It's about maximizing economic value. But actual people have other values aside from economic.

          I'm not proposing that A take time off from cooking to do the dishes. I'm proposing that A can do the cooking *and* half of the dishes.

          Well, at some point then Person A will tell Person B "If I'm cooking all the time and I'm also doing the dishes half the time why do I even keep you around"
