      Not sure how much I agree with this, but it's an interesting thread. Maybe I'm just happy_merchant.jpg, but I strongly prefer objective contracts to subjective / actively think subjective are bad / think that "but they were good" is propaganda that cherry picks scenarios & facts https://twitter.com/PereGrimmer/status/1298291421968052224 …

          4/ Trust is necessary, but not sufficient, to a good contract. See my previous tweet.https://twitter.com/DJSchreffler/status/1298298673378582529 …

          A gentleman's deal is ultimately based on trust. The two people trust each other, either because of direct relationship, because of reputation, or a trusted third party stakes his relationship/reputation for the two to extend trust to the other.

          5/ Strongly disagree. If I don't trust someone, I'm not going to do a deal with them, period. If I do trust someone, I'm going to write a contract and walk them through it, to make sure that there is a 100% meeting of minds.https://twitter.com/DJSchreffler/status/1298299112211832838 …

          If a deal gets violated, then there's loss of trust and reputation. If the deal is upheld, trust and reputation are at least maintained if not increased. Contracts are for when there is no direct trust or relationship, but both people trust the law to be a neutral arbiter.

          7/ Valid point. If you trust the legal enforcement system, you can do deals with people that you don't trust. (Though I would still disaggregate 'no data to justify positive trust' vs 'actively distrust').https://twitter.com/ZacharyW_Clark/status/1298316352315224064 …

          I think the only thing I disagree with is the necessity of trust in contracting (though a good thing if you can find it when looking for a vendor, like you said). A good written contract takes subjective trust out of the equation of a transaction. That guy you trust could flake.

          8/ eh...no, I don't like this I mean maybe, sure, a little bit at the margins, but if I do a deal with the understanding of price X, and he has asymmetric knowledge of what risks exist and how much they cost (from multiple previous runs), onus is on himhttps://twitter.com/ded_ruckus/status/1298323082231201792 …

          hmm proposed definition of "honor" in this context like "concern for the others' return on the transaction" e.g. if the sawyer loses a blade while doing your contract, you pay him extra rather than force him to take a loss on the deal

          9/ Sawyer knows what his blade loss rate is. He can either expose that to me and say "plus $500 per ruined blade, and you can minimize that by not giving me trees that might have steel in them", or he can bake it into the price, based on typical rateshttps://twitter.com/ded_ruckus/status/1298323964662435840 …

          it definitely requires trust on both ends he trusts you not to force a loss; you trust him to negotiate a price that's very likely equal to what he'll actually want thus this is not a system that's scalable super-Dunbar on its own

          10/ For someone to say "I will do task X, for flat fee Y", and then, half way through it, say "oh, my tool broke, and I'm going to lose money on this job unless you hand me $500" is BS. Fee just increased while the work didn't change. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CONTRACTS PREVENT
