I've been thinking a lot lately about how to scale Trust. Tech solutions are great, but often gamed. Identifying people who are trustworthy most of the time, is relatively easy. What's hard is cultivating disincentives to minimize the likelihood of untrustworthy behavior in edge cases. 1/2

How one weights the various components of Trust is also variable. A trustworthy person could mean something slightly different to me than to you. Ultimately it's a group that defines it for itself.

Organizations that emphasized shared values, ethics, and vision. That went beyond religion, political affiliation, or ethnicity. But even then, many died out because of lost Trust. So that in itself isn’t the solution. I’ll continue pulling on this thread. In the meantime, what’s your take? 4/4

I like the idea of Moai groups of Okinawa. I wanted to bring the idea of it on chain and see how it'd work. even letting people join more than one and then using factors off of those interactions etc to see trustworthiness and what shakes out of good ones.

they're social groups that start when people are young and everyone (parents start it) pay monthly into the fund. they look out for one another. help each other. well I to old age. if one struggles they vote on using the funds to help so stress and struggles are less. it's lead to living longer happier lives.
