"Social contract" is a term people use to try and bully people into things they never agreed to. Non-imaginary contracts require acceptance.
The essential elements of a social contract:
- I want it to be true real bad
- Other people are forced to comply with it
- I dictate the terms unilaterally
- leoh 2y agoWhat do you mean? It is literally the opposite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract
- usea 2y agoThat's not how people use it, such as the person I replied to. There was no consent, explicit or otherwise. They use it to mean "I want things to be this way, so people should be obligated to a rule I made up because 'society'".
- leoh 2y agoIronic because you just made up your own definition yourself
