I wonder what would happen if everyone had a Credibility Score.

Example: If @tomcolicchio tells me an NYC restaurant has great service, 99% chance I'll agree.

You can fill in the blanks: if [X person] recommends [Y category/thing], the probability of it being a good fit is [Z%]
I think we all sort of do this tacitly, don't we? If @thomasjbevan1 recommends a substack, I am almost sure I'll like it.
But then other people...I handicap their opinions with a massive discount rate.
And we do this same thing in an ANTI-way: if X person recommends something to me in Y category, I am 99% sure I will NOT like it.

The domestication of dogs probably happened because humans used them for ritual sacrifice.
