Sometimes I have a crazy intuition like “if people just categorically refused to work with anybody who seemed untrustworthy or “fake” or trying to take advantage, the world would be better.”

If a critical mass of people overrides their own opinions then markets will lack liquidity, just as a stock market comprising entirely index funds would not have any information in its price signals.

A business doesn't need to care, and shouldn't care, about whether its suppliers like celery. Or dress as furries. Or are considered unpleasant by some people. It cares about price & quality - the things inside the API. Expanding that care is IMO antithetical to economic scale.

To say the economy is the mere aggregation of some human judgements is like saying the brain is the mere aggregation of some sensory signals. The word "aggregation" is hiding the actually important part. You are your aggregation.

The actually important parts here are ways to accurately aggregate the preferences of billions of people and the possibilities for action, and to coordinate action in an incentive-compatible way. The market economy, rule of law etc is somewhat good at doing that.
