If a person enters a relationship for housing with somebody (landlord) who is in every way incentivized to not support your thriving with that housing, then foundationally you’re in a situation where a core function of life (shelter) cannot be considered stable.
If you were to use Paul Graham’s “default alive or default dead” metaphor for homelessness, that means every single person who isn’t a landlord is “default homeless”
In this case, every persons stability lives at the whim of a landlord - and to be clear, you can put all of the eviction laws in place that you want, but if a landlord does not want you on the property even if they cant immediately evict you without recourse (a matter of money and political power at that point) they can and will make your life worse than if you weren’t even in that property.
The fact that it’s illegal to be alive without paying somebody else to live is insanity

Evolution is based on contribution and accounts for the a time period where you will be a burden to the time period where you should be contributing.

Please cite this causal pathway in research Specifically can you show, in some kind of documented research, that genetic fitness and likelihood for offspring reproduction success (Evolutionary fitness), is causally linked with agent actions in a specific distinguishing state transition between non-burden and burden states. Also please tell me how these states are measured and through what mechanism It should also account for things like: Why political prisoners (burdens or the shunned by society) are later asked to be leaders, eg Nelson Mandela etc... given that he had many different children across the entirety of his active periods (exceptionally fit evolutionary)
- rlili 2y agoIf we take this argument at face value, disabled people should be shunned too.
- AndrewKemendo 2y agoDon’t forget the elderly and children
- chung8123 2y agoChildren are taken care of by their parents, elderly build up equity in society to be taken care of when they no longer are capable of contributing.
- AndrewKemendo 2y agoBuild up equity? What are you talking about? Explain to me the felicific calculus for determining grandparent equity in the year 1375
