Hi, I’m Amitay Cohen. I’m interested in trust and how to build it — specifically, how to increase trust in closed systems, from small circles to large communities. From nations to fundamental building blocks like cells, molecules, and atoms.
Core Principles of Trust
Interest Alignment, Predictability, Clarity, Risk-Reward, and Repeated Interaction.
Interest Alignment
How well are the players' interests aligned?
Predictability
How predictable are the players' behaviors?
Clarity
How clear are the players' intentions?
Risk-Reward
What's the balance between rewards and risks for each player?
Repeated Interaction
How frequently do players interact?
