Yeah so I love Taylor Swift... and not just because her lyrics are great for learning about social preferences!
Social image:
Social image:
Don't look at me,Pure altruism:
You've got a girl at home,
And everybody knows that,
Everybody knows that.
I don't even know her,Social norms:
But I feel a responsibility,
To do what's upstanding and right,
It's kinda like a code, yeah,Guilt-aversion:
And you've been getting closer and closer,
And crossing so many lines.
And it would be a fine proposition,Self-image:
If I was a stupid girl,
But honey I am no-one's exception,Empathy or indirect reciprocity:
This I have previously learned.
And yeah I might go with it,And a bonus lesson on commitment devices!
If I hadn't once been just like her.
Call a cab,
Lose my number,
You're about to lose your girl,
Call a cab,
Lose my number,
Let's consider this lesson learned.

I was once a big Joni Mitchell fan, but now see her as the antithesis of generosity. She has seriously misjudged Taylor Swift and her egalitarian point of view. We, the children of the sixties and seventies, were extremely selfish, and some still are.
