How much counterfactually available outcome-value is left on the table by Hansonian instincts?

I.e. you have a community that tries to achieve X, but they don't achieve X as well as they could because of social status drives. How much better could they achieve X if they didn't have those drives (at same level of intelligence)

Either phrase things clearly with "should" or "ethically", or speak purely in "if X, then Y" or "Z will happen".

“galaxybrained” is an interesting category. is it just pointing at the conjunction fallacy, or something more subtle?

absurdity heuristic perhaps, plus the recognition that logical arguments with many steps are lossy wrt reality

Relatedly, sometimes people complain that modern dating has commodified human interaction, which seems sort of correct. But another frame could be that people who date a lot interact mostly with the archetype of the demographic they date: "Ah yes, her not replying is this facet of the hot-girl archetype, but in parallel I'm also exploring the having-playful-banter-where-I'm-trying-not-to-invest-too-much part of the archetype and the trying-not-to-commit-but-still-fuck part."

(closing the stray parenthesis))

Perhaps a Level 0 would be a defensive one, "resting bitch face"/"don't talk to me energy".

I really like this framework and it's something which you really can only get by doing the courtship ritual a bunch of times, and failing & succeeding often.

So Krauser presents a 3-level model in which he describes courtship interaction between men and women, which I find cool.

Level 1: Sort-of cooperative (the woman appears to want the man to win, sometimes goes along with what he wants

Level 2: But sometimes she tests/creates periods of silence, it looks like she is "breaking" from the cooperation of Level 1

Level 3: But deep down she still "wants" him to pass those tests, navigate the mating dance with grace
