There are a lot of institutions in our society today that are relying upon credibility

stamps.

They used to be how you gain credibility in society.

So if you were a journalist writing for the New York Times or Washington Post, then you

had the mast head of the New York Times and Washington Post.

If you're a professor at Harvard, you have credibility because you're a professor at Harvard.

So of course those systems got hacked.

A lot of social scientists who have no business telling the world what to do are now in there

with their nonsense political models, masquerading as economists or natural scientists, or you

have people who are activists writing under the mast heads of these formerly great newspapers

and burning up the credibility capital that these newspapers have built up over time.

The internet is exposing them slowly but steadily and we're going through a transition phase

where the masses still believe in the institutions and were caught in this shelling point, this

coordination point for the institutions.

How do I know if I should hire you?

Will you even diploma from Harvard?

I know it's not as good as it used to be.

I know Harvard, humanity's diploma is probably nonsense at this point.

But I don't have any other credibility metric to filter you and I need to do it in an efficient

way.

What we're seeing is the transition of power from institutions to individuals but it's

going to be a messy, it's going to take a couple of generations or at least age generation.
