<i>&gt; Trust is the decision to forgo attentiveness</i><p><i>&gt; If you can’t trust, you have to pay attention in order to verify – and verifying is expensive</i><p><i>&gt; We’d like to believe that goodness brings us together, but that’s not what the data reveal. According to group studies, we don’t come together because we trust: we come together because we align our intent to mistrust.</i><p><i>&gt; We stick together because our interests align and we suffer the mistrust of others until we can no longer justify it.</i><p>Interesting perspectives.<p>Makes me wonder... what is the state of the art in software systems that could help us to <i>&quot;align our intent&quot;</i> in this <i>&quot;impending cyborg age&quot;</i>?

So we, as a society, invented keys and locks not because there are thieves but thieves came later, because we first invented keys and locks?<p>Inventing, together, keys and locks was an &quot;intent to mistrust&quot; and, hence, created evil?<p>Yeah. But no.
