At VINO OPTICS we study how to augment perception of our life blood. At FreeX we study society’s life blood. And this is more than just a casual analogy.
I feel that respect can be held by proxy: using myself as an example, when someone I respect holds a high opinion of someone else that is unknown to me, the second person gets a higher default trust value (until I've built my own evaluation of them) by association with the first person whose judgment I tend to hold in regard.
but that's not exactly reputation, so maybe it doesn't apply as much as I was thinking.
