Request for Comment: Media influence score for signalling

Cool idea, @MaxSemenchuk! Thanks to everyone for posting such thought-provoking comments. I’m glad @maciek is making available data more organized. Anyone can measure time or clicks related to watching, listening, reading, doing work, completing tasks, sharing ideas, looking for truth, etc. Reputation is multidimensional. We should intelligently use the power of social capital to facilitate coordination.

Think about Ken Arrow, Nobel Prize recipient who argued, “It seems to make no sense to add the utility of one individual, a psychic magnitude in his mind, with the utility of another individual” (1951). However, social scientists often associate Arrow’s “general possibility theorem,” with Condorcet’s “paradox of voting” (1785).

Let’s abstract reputation from any single token balance, giving potential value to the multitude of actions we intentionally do in public. Don’t sell your influence. Simply understanding attention will better inform us to make decisions that provide justice and liberty for everyone. Bribery is less likely to happen if we have greater transparency & accountability. Fake traffic is not a new problem, and tokenizing complex signals might actually help. Dimensional voting can be weighted by a specific reputation. Time (a.k.a. validated human proof of energy/work) levels the playing field.

It’s possible for token engineers to create hierarchical systems with infinite layers of structured information, i.e blockchains account for everything. We’re objectively representing subjectively-controlled actions/events in order to gain unprecedented common knowledge.
