“Explicit rules are, of course, a part of the social order, but to an even larger degree, our behavior is governed by implicit rules. These rules are never explicitly written down or declared, but we learn them and implement them in our lives nonetheless. We can easily recognize when these rules are broken, even if we can’t actually say what the rule is or where it came from. We just recognize that one simply doesn’t do that.” (10/03/25)
