I like your models. Do you think you can make them into quantitative ones?
Here are some caveats:
Model 1: Escalating Asks and Rewards
I have experienced several communites with a ‘not me’-mentality, where people are on bord for the fun, but do not want any work. This is strong evidence against universality of Model 1.
On the other hand, I have experinced communities where this escalation happened and people told stories of how important their work was. So I definitely think this happens, but I can’t think of a good predictor for whon or when model 1 applies.
Model 2: Imperfect Containers
Most humans seek some form of novelty; most humans desire growth.
This smells like the typical mind/sex-life fallcy. People in my filter bubble? Yes. My (grand)parents? (Much) less so.
I think this assumption (and thus Model 2) is only valid for a small subset of humans: Ambition and novelty-seeking should be a good predictor for whom Model 2 applies to, age and conservativeness should correlate negatively with model accuracy for these subgroups.
