Good thread, though I wonder how much of the depreciation of the old rules is a natural consequence of societal and technological change vs. something pushed by a Bohemian elite.https://twitter.com/patrissimo/status/1022165188336701440 …

Agree, though the two aren't necessarily incompatible. What incentives led the elite to become Bohemian/antinomian? That's about what I was asking here:https://twitter.com/C_Harwick/status/1018886950957273089 …

What is your opinion on the hypothesis proposed by Newson (that there is one specific thing that “causes” modernity, namely lack of kin interaction)?https://twitter.com/locus_of_ctrl/status/1021190149739171840 …

That seems important but not the same as what I'm describing. Even in a clan society, rapid tech change causing rapid social change mean new rules are needed. Maybe a kinship group innovates faster or better but their cultural capital still depreciates faster.
