Congratulations, looks like fun!

None of this is part of government, nor should be. Government should not enforce the MORALS or MEMES of a people, only insure that justice can be addressed. I don’t even think that government should protect people from each other, but only provide a way for victims to get some attention and even the score with those who attacked them. This has to be in a public forum, which is what I think government should be. A public forum where people can go and get attention about whatever is hurting them. Then, again in public, DISINTERESTED parties as well as interested parties should fight and argue in the open about the situation brought up by the victim(s) in order to publicly enforce some kind of cultural shunning on the perpetrators, whether it is a fine or some kind of moral/memetic shaming.

We get way, way too tied up in thinking that government is a greater family, to take care of the members of the clan. That is a job for a family, not a government. With the loss of family and clan, trying to invent an adoptive family and mix those responsibilities in with law and order gets really messy really fast. Moral rules such as who should marry are not a part of law and order, but a preference of a clan. My grandmother should be able to try to keep me from marrying someone, but not a band of strangers set up to address my need for justice should it arise.

Government fails when it’s expected to do things that it is not designed to do. Like using a bed as a table, sort of works, but ultimately has problems. Government and common law and group enforcement of justice are invaluable parts of a society. Let’s not force government to do the job of our mothers.

“When was the last time you did something for the first time?”

Uhhh…recently? I can’t remember what it was, though. It was this week. Or last. Anyway, not long ago.
More generally, I can remember that I have a bad episodic memory, but I don’t remember any specific episodes of failing to remember an episode.

Yes. I can’t think of any reason why it needs to be that way, but yes. I know this because I have a ridiculously good semantic memory, but almost no episodic memory. I almost never takes notes because I don’t need them. You’d think I’d be able to cast episodes as facts, but that only sort of works – I only remember caricatures of most events, and any non-unique event almost always gets rolled/compressed into the general fact that event X has occurred.
