i have a set of core content that is organized in stages. i want folks to go through stage 1 content before they see stage 2. in thought i might be able to achieve this with trust levels. is there a a way to require reading / liking specific posts/categories in order to advance to the next trust level?

Not out of the box. If you don’t mind a more manual approach you could use open groups in a similar way.
At the end of one topic or section link the user to a group page for them to join, which reveals more/other categories.
Anything more will need a plugin.
