The combination of this post, and an earlier John post (Parable of the Dammed) has given me some better language for understanding what’s going on in negotiations and norm-setting, two topics that I think are quite valuable. The concept of “you could actually move the Empire State Building, maybe, and that’d affect the Schelling point of meeting places”, was a useful intuition pump for both “you can move norm Schelling points around” (as well as how difficult to think of that task as).
