Seems like a lot of trust has been obliterated today, like I cringe reading people try to broadcast intimate opinions shared within a relationship post-breakup on to social media
So then either you have to find people you can test a lot to see if they're trustworthy, or you mostly have to "let it all burn" until trust completely breaks down in society forcing a reset of trust and punishment of breaches of trust
So what do you think about how high trust societies are created, how much trust exists in society today (USA), or what are your thoughts on this topic in general?
how can this be accomplished without high trust
low crime and high trust have gone hand in hand before: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2008/04/15/where-trust-is-high-crime-and-corruption-are-low/
I guess things like bitcoin attempt to be "trustless"
"high/low trust society" is a concept, and a line of research, that is popular when reading libertarian and anarcho-capitalist literature. I think it's very important to understand it.
You can't have low taxes or low crime without high trust. The idea is that if I don't trust you, then I'll vote for more government to keep you in line. So I'll be willing to pay more in taxes to have that government. Or....if I don't trust you, I'll steal from you before you have a chance to steal from me. Low trust > more crime > more government.
High trust also implies that we are similar people with similar values. So this "melting-pot" theory or the idea that "diversity is strength" is obviously bunk.
Diversity destroys trust. Almost sounds like a plan.
