I share your sense that EAs should be thinking about reputation a lot more. A lot of the current thinking has also been very reactive/defensive, and I think that’s due both to external factors and to the fact that the community doesn’t realize how valuable an actually good reputation can be—thought Nathan is right that it’s not literally priceless. Still, I’d love to see the discourse develop in a more proactive position.
