I think something y’all could’ve touched on a little more is the idea of a reputation creating a narrative; i.e. actions getting recontextualized through the lens of reputation which can be seen through how the same action done by two people can look drastically different depending on those people’s reputations
I seem to recall Rousseau saying, I think it was in the Confessions, that he was whipped as a child, or in puberty, and subsequently derived enjoyment from it. Masochism and paranoia are close cousins.
On the subject of social credit scores, I think people tend to see issues with it as a form of governance than a source of reputation, especially when considering that one would not know their own scores. It is feared as a way of imposing self governance, where citizens are left with no choice but to censor themselves (to avoid ruining their own score) or police others (in hopes to improve one’s score). It is often compared to the concept of the Penopticon, where the ambiguity of the watch causes those being watched to enforce rules upon themselves. While this fear is no more than conspiracy theory right now, the combination of a social credit score, heavy handed surveillance, and strong censorship in China makes these theories a little more believable. And while it will be difficult to find proper sources on what is a highly censored event, many believe that it is the social credit score that served as a tool in the cultural genocide of a particular group of people in China. Not to sound crazy, but I have my own divisive beliefs on the subject. 🙃
I would prefer to venerate others superior traits as my own in communion.. We could afford to relax into our own in such a world where what was inherent could be acknowledged
My brain feels better. Thank you both so much.

You could also use the book The Status Game as reference, it speaks aboit the notion of reputation being the basis for ranks in the a community..
Perception of a person should also be considered.

Close, he specifically talked about being spanked and deriving pleasure from it
Long time listener of the podcast. I come to this comment section at this moment with a request/suggestion. Could you do an episode on 'Limerence'?
Could you please do a podcast about "single motherhood"
