social currency + reputation map cleanly to the Impossible Trilemma / exchange rates but turns out I mostly make these analogies in reverse

Yes, this is very much where my brain has been drifting. (In fact I wrote an old blog post about this once, in the reverse direction.)

Are you looking for analogies typically used in the study of these things (e.g. between countries/governments and unitary persons),
-
or vivid analogies to help understand them (e.g. "Shld Bill Gates grill his own burgers if he's awesome at it?" for comparative advantage)?

What would it mean for it to be load-bearing? This is a cool question because it prompts a lot of initially really dumb thoughts/answers.

Haha not totally sure. Something I can build a lot more structure/understanding on? Something with more than just a few cute parallels?
