[QUOTE]Originally posted by RooK: [QB] As alluded to above, my preference is to try to default to systemically giving space to people - to trust most people here to be reasonable adults. This is not to say that frissons don't happen, but that a healthier social construct is one where the majority of individuals are empowered with being reasonable, rather than trying to deploy overt interaction nannies into every exchange. As a discussion board, some modicum of trust is important. This is a concept in game theory often referred to as "[URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory]honest signalling[/URL]". The main mechanisms for building trust are: 1) repeat interactions 2) possible win-win interactions 3) low miscommunication All of which I think apply to the Ship's overall experience. Recently I discovered an online game that reinforces these ideas ([URL=http://ncase.me/trust/]trust in game theory[/URL] (yay copykittens)), and it added another important insight. That while the immediate view is that the people's actions are largely influenced by circumstance, the big-picture view is that it's the people who collectively make up a big part of everybody else's circumstances. Which suggests to us to reflect on the various incarnations of the Golden Rule. [/QB][/QUOTE]
