How much work was “culture of Duncans” supposed to be doinng?
In particular, I kind of read it as “we can assume (among other things) common knowledge that everyone is basically cooperative with everyone else”. So people don’t become 10,000 day monks just because they want to be supported while they doss around. Is that intended?
If Duncans don’t all basically cooperate with other Duncans, or if it’s supposed to be more like “a culture where Duncans have a lot of institutional power but a lot of the population isn’t a Duncan”, I become a lot more skeptical, while acknowledging that if you do think it would work in that sort of situation, you’ve probably thought of the same objections I have.

A lot of the work was being done by “culture of Duncans.”
All of that is double-clickable/expandable, but it’s hard to expand all of it for any single essay; that’s why so many essays. =)
