You know, in Huxley's 'Brave New World,' that went by the wayside, and it was a sign of immorality to say no to anyone who asked you or who offered a sexual invitation.
In a segment discussing societal views on sexual consent, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson refers to Aldous Huxley's book 'Brave New World,' highlighting its themes regarding the implications of saying no to sexual invitations.
The Wealth of Nations
Buy The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith on Amazon
I think the partial answer to what you're asking might be to think along the lines of Adam Smith, who saw two different spheres, and in 'The Wealth of Nations,' he talked about the invisible hand which governs the market, but then he also talked about the theory of moral sentiments, which was the realms where the market didn't go.
In this discussion, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson references Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' while exploring the concepts of market dynamics and moral sentiments, highlighting Smith's views on the invisible hand that governs the market.
