I’m excited about this sequence, and look forward to the rest of it.
Having just read this introduction, it almost feels to me like the tail is wagging the dog. I completely agree that relinquishing options is a critically important part of civility. But my instinct is that the relinquishment is in service of a greater (and defining) goal, not the goal itself. So, something like “civility is prioritizing cooperation over autonomy, which in many cases requires relinquishing physically possible options”. But I assume it will all become clear as the sequence proceeds.
