I agree about the cooperation thing. One addendum I’d add to my post is that shared reality seems like a common precursor to doing/thinking together.
If I want to achieve something or figure something out, I can often do better if I have a few more people working/thinking with me, and often the first step is to ‘get everyone on the same page’. I think lots of times this first step is just trying to shove everyone into shared reality. Partially because that’s a common pattern of behavior, and partially because if it did work, it would be super effective.
But because of the bad news where people actually have different experiences, cracks often form in the foundation of this coordinated effort. But I think if the team has common knowledge about the nature of shared reality and the non-terrible/coercive/violent way of achieving it (sharing understanding), this can lead to better cooperation (happier team members, less reality-masking, better map-sharing).
I’m also not sure what you mean about the trust problem, maybe you mean the polls which claim that trust in government and other stuff has been on the decline?
