It’s fascinating what motivates us to do certain things. I’ve come up with the Quantified Prestige reputation economy system Quantified Prestige, because I wanted to know how a reputation economy would really work out in a novel I planned on writing. And that’s even though the economy wasn’t even the focus of that book. Anyway, both of these projects got put on hiatus due to my health issues which I am just about to control to a sufficient degree now.
Would your theory have potential applications to fields like synthetic biology?
I really encourage you to try that out. That will probably enable you to reach a much wider audience, at least if you manage to get into contact with some potential readers first. Many people put books out there, and hardly anyone reads them. The role of good marketing must not be underestimated!
