On frontenddogma.com, I had a “soft block” in place that I used not to attribute people I mistrust.
I’ve dropped that block.
It’s not that the mistrust went away, but I don’t feel like I need to “retaliate.” I much rather like to acknowledge that I could err in my judgment. I also believe that nothing improves if we all think “eye for an eye.”
To keep it short, the spirit matches what I wrote in “Reasons to Listen to Whom You Don’t Agree With”:
Cryptocurrencies promise decentralization, transparency, and security, but trust remains a fundamental issue. This article dives deep into the challenges and solutions surrounding #trust in the crypto economy. #divaexchange
While trust in Government is failing (see earlier post) this has not merely been caused by recent actions of the Tories.... Inquiries into the Horizon IT persecutions & the infected blood scandal have again & again revealed duplicity & malpractice by Govt. & associated institutions.
Certainly the Tories have compounded the issue, but our political class' contempt for normal people & their difficulties has also driven the longer-term decline in trust!
This Bible verse really helped me today:
Psalms 37:4-5 ESV
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. #Bible#Trust
A major driver of the current dystopian political and social dysfunction is a complete and utter loss of #Trust in just about everything. Folks just don’t trust anyone or anything anymore - or so it seems. We don’t trust corporations to do the right thing in any situation; we don’t trust professional of all stripes to be genuinely concerned about our issues; we don’t trust schools to protect our kids; hospitals to keep us healthy; the police to not brutalize or shoot us; we don’t even trust bishops and priests to keep their hands off of small children. And, of course, we don’t trust government unless one is lucky enough to live in a Scandinavian country (where it appears governments do everything right). Trust is fundamental to societal cohesion, healthy communities, and a sense of wellbeing. It underlies healthy relationships, well functioning families and resilient communities. And rn in the USA, trust is at an all time low. https://www.amacad.org/publication/fifty-years-declining-confidence-increasing-polarization-trust-american-institutions
Some Narrative Conventions of Scientific Discourse
Rom Harré, 1990
"The academic ‘we’ might seem at first glance to be just a version of the editorial ‘we’. Like the latter it is mutedly egocentric but it is not mainly used to imply teamwork. Rather, it is used to draw the listener into complicity, to participate as something more than an audience. "
"Trust, then, is a relation, but can be grounded in the faith of only one of its terminal members. Trust belongs to the same category of personal attributes as beliefs, though trust is more like implicit belief than like opinions which are overtly expressed. It is what is taken for granted in a relationship, whether between people or between people and things. It is usually called into question only when it is violated."
Can us humble peasants move to a furtile #PostGrowth system when #HyperCapitalism rabidly feeds from the bleak industrial farmlands of #Distrust?
In the huge Fields of the Majority where us wilfully oppressed forced laborers daily sow Seeds of Doubt for our masters. We see pellets hit the hardened soil, and pray in vain that something healthy will sprout this time. While we eat the bile that's served.
In our dogmatic way of life can we discern patches of #Faith and #Trust to grow Humble Deeds?
Trump stands to gain billions… from the merger between TrumpMedia & Tech & the blank-check co [#SPAC] #DWAC, which took the parent company of #TruthSocial public.
TOMORROW is the deadline for applications to the #Trust and #Identity Incubator #Mentorship Programme (TIM). #Students can get paid while they study, and learn from the best in the field.
#ScienceDirect and #Elsevier clearly didn't review this #chemistry paper about #batteries. The intro starts with "Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic:".
This lack of oversight erodes #trust in #science. The paper needs to be retracted and the authors sanctioned immediately.

You can’t take your eyes off these “destroyer of (political)worlds”.
It just “burns my buns” the bs they try to pull.

The subjs were asked: Would you share these stories online?
The results seemed to defy #logic of modern #politics or #polarization. “There were many…who seemed willing to share any #ConspiracyTheory, regardless of the party…,” Petersen said. These participants didn’t seem like stable partisans of the left or right. They weren’t even negative partisans, who hated 1 side w/o feeling allegiance to the other. Above all, they seemed drawn to stories that undermined #trust in every system of #power.
#Enshitification All Around:
"These Digital Goliaths are utilizing their websites’ authority and the public’s trust in their brands to sell every product under the sun.
They’re buying magazines we love, closing their print operations, turning them into digital-only, laying off the actual journalists who made us #trust in their content in the first place, and hiring third-party companies to run the affiliate arm of their sites."
The foundation of a 🔄 submissive-dominant dynamic is deep trust & communication. For the #submissive, entrusting control to a caring #dominant 🤝 offers profound emotional safety. This trust, built over time, fosters a strong bond 💞, deepening the relationship's fulfillment. 🌱 #Trust#Bond
