Classical #Liberalism gets mocked a lot but it's a very powerful and valuable idea and generalizes beyond human beings.
A bunch of agents with come together and create an agreement to follow rules which move them out of bad Nash Equilibria, but with some remaining freedom.

It is good that we don't brutalize people to fix collective games. Classical #Liberalism is good!
What exactly is #Woke, in terms of game theory? That's more complicated.
"Apply the minimum amount of coercion necessary to get society out of bad Nash Equilibria"
Woke could not exist without a society made safe and comfortable by Liberalism.
Imagine trying to sell #BlackLivesMatter to white people who had just been enslaved by Barbary Corsairs;
It's something like:
"Get people to politically support collective actions where that support maximally correlates with morally positive individual traits"

We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this.
The community’s response? Outrage.
Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.
When we talk about bringing jobs to the community, we need to dig deep:
- Has the company promised to hire in the existing community?
- What’s the quality of jobs + how many are promised? Are these jobs low-wage or high wage? Are there benefits? Can people collectively bargain?
Displacement is not community development. Investing in luxury condos is not the same thing as investing in people and families.
Shuffling working class people out of a community does not improve their quality of life.
We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism.
It’s possible to establish economic partnerships w/ real opportunities for working families, instead of a race-to-the-bottom competition.
The community’s response? Outrage.
Amazon will divide its second headquarters evenly between New York's Long Island City and Arlington County's Crystal City neighborhoods. Other cities may also receive major sites. https://t.co/c1lKmeQinX
