While I love Slate Star Codex, just commenting a link in response to a written comment feels a bit snarky. It'd be a lot nicer if you could provide some preface, maybe a summary given the length of it, and just link to it as a source for your comment. :)
- Forbo 8y agoParticularly when the reader view estimates it to be 78-99 minutes. I'm several paragraphs in and not seeing the connection to the comment thread. Edit: Just as soon as I post about not seeing the connection, I find the bit they were referencing: "6. The Two-Income Trap, as recently discussed on this blog. It theorized that sufficiently intense competition for suburban houses in good school districts meant that people had to throw away lots of other values – time at home with their children, financial security – to optimize for house-buying-ability or else be consigned to the ghetto. From a god’s-eye-view, if everyone agrees not to take on a second job to help win their competition for nice houses, then everyone will get exactly as nice a house as they did before, but only have to work one job. From within the system, absent a government literally willing to ban second jobs, everyone who doesn’t get one will be left behind."
