so ok suppose there exist two people contracting and they need to agree on a means of enforcement of that contract they need to figure out how to define a breach, and they may face a tradeoff between what we'll call "verifiability" and "flexibility"https://twitter.com/PageSeverian/status/1425609518310772737?s=19 …

the tradeoff works like so in this abstraction. ideally the contract might be extremely flexible in what is permitted, to allow action in as many spaces as possible where there might be mutual gain

but, verifying whether there's a breach in these complex spaces might be hard for a third party so maybe you can sacrifice some flexibility and simply forbid certain actions by one party or both that might be contextually fine but difficult to verify

if you take if even further you might simply list the action spaces that are acceptable and sanction all actions outside of those spaces

what is an ideal choice depends on context etc etc but one thing I am fairly confident in is that relatively powerful people ought to be held to a higher standard on the latter. for example "if you are the president and you fuck around with your intern you just are Toast"

powerful guys sinking risk is what being powerful is about just as long as we respect the destructive power of millions of cockroaches to even the greatest man

this whole question is founded on the presumption that men’s sexuality is *by default* pathological forgive me for my impatience
