Wait why do these people need nudging if the state is just implementing their desiresIt's a way of aggregating preferences/utility between a group of individuals. I.e logically formalizing collective decision making. Mechnaism design is a layer on top of this. It involves creating some incentive system or "mechanism" to "implement" the social welfare/choice function via incentives.
The reason why I ask is because I was reading an article about mechanism design and some of it's practical issues when used as a tool of public policy.
I think there's a connection between her critique and your idea of surrogation. specifically mechanism design is often a surrogate for "justice" because mechanism design based systems are more seemingly objective and tractable. They can more easily get public buy in. Hitzig uses the Boston school system as a case study of this phenomenon.
Can you enlarge on that last point? He didn't talk about his partner so she suspects... what exactly? Is she accusing him of murder, suggesting that he has killed her and then chopped her into pieces, dissolving as much of the remains as possible in an acid bath and burying the rest under the patio where he likes to serve tea to guests, deriving a twisted pleasure in knowing that they are scoffing custard creams in blissful ignorance of the fact that just below where they sit her eyeless skull gazes eternally up at them? And hence he tries to steer the conversation away from her in case he incriminates himself.
Or is she simply saying that he has no partner at all and that he is some kind of delusional psychopathic fantasist who uses his lack of compunction and normal human feeling to ingratiate himself into groups of people, growing slowly closer, inserting himself into their lives and turning each against the others for his own perverse amusement ... until one day someone notices an inconsistency in his story and his web of lies comes crashing down, at which point he will ruthlessly murder everyone in the group before moving on to his next set of victims?
Or maybe she thinks that cos he went a couple of days without mentioning his partner he must be a closeted homosexual who has developed a sick infatuation with Linebaugh, stalking him across the internet from forum to chatroom, drawing ever closer until finally he has engineered a meeting, preparatory to murdering everyone Limburger knows, kidnapping him and - after tenderly and lovingly removing all his limbs and cauterising the wounds - keeping him in a box in the cellar as his gimp upon whom he will frequently enact the most unimaginably depraved sexual tortures, all the while whispering in his ear about how much he loves him?
Or does she think that the explanation is something dark and possibly even a little sinister?

Says link is broken? Tryna read
Visiting some friends I went to Chicago and hung with the honorable Linebaugh and then to Boston for some friends, followed by New York (same thing—some parties some meals some drinks)what are you doing in new yorky gus? have you moved already?
@snav is a much better resource for this. But it would be very fun to have you play a set. I'll poke around see what and who I knowAnd if you have, can you get me a dj gig somewhere in NY? Doesn't have to be anywhere good, I just want an excuse for a holiday really and a new country to put on my CV.
It would be wicked fun if you just hired a bar and you, me, Leo, Shaka and any other US dissensoids (Mvuent, Linebaugh, Stan?) who are in range of NY all had a quick go on the controls. Not a clubnight, just a Dissensus meet-up where we controlled the music and inflicted it on any other patrons who were lucky enough to be drinking there... obviously I'm getting a bit ahead of myself now but that is something that could feasibly happen one day and which I am certain would be extremely enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to it.. cannot wait, not just the DJ-ing but it should certainly be a highlight when @Clinamenic shows me the coolest bars in Williamsburg as too will be beating @linebaugh at basketball though maybe the thing I'm looking forward to most of all is dinner at @Leo's..@snav is a much better resource for this.
