We need a workable system for reputation management that is

- decentralized and transparent in its operation

- robust, and immune to being gamed [see the first item...]

- multidimensional, since people's strengths and weaknesses, and impacts on others, vary with type

- discounts past behavior in favor of more the more recent

I think we have evidence that reputation management works in small groups, villages, families—so the challenge is how to apply our new tools for information management to our new, larger, social groups.

We need to apply new technologies to our new circumstances, to scale up our collective awareness and decision-making to match the exponentially increasing flood of data and connections.

And not by delegating to an independent agency such as an AI, or a 'trusted' leader or organization, or to an electoral system that fails on many of the criteria listed above.

Next, a system for modeling our values, multilayered and fine-grained, with increasing coherence over increasing context of meaning, and increasing scope of consequences…

Dusting off an old idea that may be nearing practicality with the rise of large language models:

A model of human universal values—multilevel, fine-grained, probabilistic, intertwingled, and evolving—could facilitate useful discourse and collective decision-making.

It seems to me that our worldwide, multicultural corpus of fiction must contain examples, within context, of nearly all human values and situations in which they may apply.

Such fictional examples are of course highly biased toward the dramatic and the sensational, since that's what people tend to enjoy reading, but might we now be close to having the tools to help us collect, categorize, and make sense of such a data-store and apply it to effective discussion and decision-making?
