Moreover, to the extent that these reflections have made their way into existing patterns of human behavior, many normal human values are probably instances of the above.
Would enjoy a slight expansion on this with e.g. two or three examples and how they reflect the patterns of 1. and 2. just prior.
For 18 examples, just think of 3 common everyday norms having to do with each of the 6 boundaries given as example images in the post :) (I.e., cell membranes, skin, fences, social group boundaries, internet firewalls, and national borders). Each norm has the property that, when you reflect on it, it’s easy to imagine a lot of other people also reflecting on the same norm, because of the salience of the non-subjectively-defined actual-boundary-thing that the norm is about. That creates more of a Schelling-nature for that norm, relative to other norms, as I’ve argued somewhat in my «Boundaries» sequence.
Spelling out such examples more carefully in terms of the recursion described in 1 and 2 just prior is something I’ve been planning for a future post, so I will take this comment as encouragement to write it!
