@jenphalian@StevenBrust Experiences of people being socialized to commodify others and those being socialized as commodities will diverge. -
@chaosprime@jenphalian@stevenbrust Sure, but the 'being known' element becomes a highlighted need when one is fearful of being commodified

@chaosprime@StevenBrust Is it possible to look at this in terms of socializing/friendship without the question of fucking? -
@jenphalian@StevenBrust The commodification I mean isn't strictly about fucking, it's part of socializing/friendship context too. -
@jenphalian@StevenBrust One of the main elements of prep for it is training to be silent and accommodating, which seems very relevant. -
@chaosprime@StevenBrust In terms of friendship, though, it seems like each human unit needs to be both end user and commodity. -
@jenphalian@StevenBrust Seems like it. Which would make a broad adoption of the commodifier role interfere heavily with friendship. -
@jenphalian@StevenBrust And the main way smart people are stupid is in extracting and applying principles more broadly than is useful.
