But really, since the invention of writing pretty much every writer who addressed the issue pointed out the importance of one’s reputation of keeping promises.
I don’t disagree with what you say, but I do disagree with the connotation that things which are not original or counter intuitive are not worth pointing out.
The last time this show was quoted, it basically amounted to “try hard to win, give it everything”, which is also something that people have been saying since the beginning of writing. All quote threads are filled with things that have been said again and again in slightly different ways. Even outside of quote threads, it’s worth rephrasing things. Pretty much every Lesswrong post has been conceptually written before by someone, with a few rare exceptions.

Yes, but usually it’s a punishment or reward issued directly from the other party, or by forces of nature...not about the practical value of going out of your way to establish reputation.
