As someone who doesn't recognize a social contract, I don't really understand what makes into the social contract. Here are the big pieces
-taxes
-draft
-some want mandatory voting
-jury duty
I understand the sense that there are costs to society and we need to pay them. But the contract doesn't find these costs and distribute them. When I think of the costs of society I think of the following..
-the people who clean up after suicide victims
-the people who inform somebody their family member died
-the cops having to watch child pornography for evidence
-unskilled labor in mental facilities, hospices, shelters, etc
For a social contract, it seems we are not distributing the emotional toll created by modern civilization.
Is this something that should be distributed?
