Reputation

How divorced is it from identity? Inextricably linked? Entirely divorced? Somewhere inbetween? And how would you define it? I would say Reputation: How you are perceived by others across time. It's an impossibility for it to be tied to your ability to 'act ethically' because you can act ethically or unethically while no one else is around and, therefore, would not affect your reputation. "Acting ethically" is entirely independent from "being seen acting ethically."
Hym "Instances where reputation is incongruent with identity are myriad. A statistical reality. And I would even go as far as to say that it's commonplace in the realm of celebrity. As a matter of fact, who outside of celebrity even has an articulable reputation of any real significance? Look at you, I mean, you have a reputation that ranges (literally) from 'great prophet of our generation' to 'a literal super Nazi' What is anyone supposed to do with that? And how do you base a society on it? AND how does that not devolve into a sort of Chinese communist party-esque social credit score system? You have said that the psychoanalysts are wrong and that identity is something that is mediated by the public. If you accept the definition above, how is that not a conflation of reputation and identity? It seems (to me) that you are arguing that 'persona' should take precedence over 'the self.' Which is a proposition I disagree with. But I'll expound on that later... I'm tired..."

Reputation

The worse and most volatile currency imaginable.

Hym "Your need for your reputation to be paramount in your identity is the reason 'cancel culture' exists. It's too volatile as a form of currency and the act of Twitter mobs taking people out left and right is evidence of that fact. I mean, what does my reputation look like? It depends on who you ask. If you ask the guy about whom I said 'Should I wait for him to die and drag his kids to hell with me?' and the guy who wrote an anime series about me; you will get two different answers. And what constitutes 'deserved prestige?' Because what it sounds like is 'I deserve this and the people I don't like don't deserve it.' in an Animal farm type of 'Well, some people are more deserving of prestige than others.' Who deserves it? You? Who deserves it MORE? The guy who had to glue a book that no one would read to the Bible to sell it? Or the guy who writes a metatext that people CAN'T STOP reading that is literally the prerequisite text for a plurality of creative works and proved that anyone can string together a bunch of quotes from they're favorite authors and do what you do now?
And how far is Dr. Jordan Peterson willing to go to prevent people from gaining 'undeserved' reputation? Would he... steal and redistribute ideas? Would he (as a clinician) sign off on the public gaslighting and stalking of a sovereign individual? You also can't steal reputation. Which is a prerequisite for considering something currency. Ideas, on the other hand, can be stolen. It's easier to do if you stick to dead people but you can also do it to people who don't have any power."

Hym "Ah! Jesus Christ! You can't just sneak up on people like that! Get outta here! Go! Get out!"

Reputation

You want to know the difference between "reputation" and "status?"
Hym "Reputation is people's willingness to lie for you. Status is commensurate with your deeds. See, you can have a high level of status but that might not motivate people to lie for you and may even incentivize lying ABOUT you. Without the reputation (how you are regarded by a certain team) of being on a certain team, they don't know whether or not you're willing to lie FOR THEM. So, the religion. The politics. It's all just to decide who's going to lie for who and when. And that's what we are seeing here. They can figure out who is going to lie for them or not so they are trying to drag this out as long as possible. I'm just going to kill a kid ifbthey don't take about the surveillance I'm under and credit and pay me for AI. That IS going to happen. And if I die before then, someone else can always do it in my name after you screw THEM. Which you will. Because your refuse to stop trying to screw people. So, I don't need to be alive to harm you for doing this. The only way other people can guarantee that they themselves aren't on the other end of it is to prevent it from happening to me."

Legal Precedent

Good. Good... I mean my whole thing is peripheral culpability. It's like my whole thing.
Hym "Now (thanks to the new legal precedent) I'll be able to link the likely but preventable child murder that will happen EXPLICITLY AS THE RESULT of a targeted harassment campaign and the public theft of the solution to the current iteration of A.I. and link it to these piece of shit self-help YouTubers... And HOPEFULLY... I can detroy their lives from the grave... And then they kill themselves. It's a win-win"
