> The most consequential (rightly or wrongly) technologists of our time are failing to properly think about trust.

It is implicit in your statement that you know some "proper" way to think about trust. If it is the case, please do share with us your thoughts on trust.

I didn't read it that way. I read it as in "actually giving it thought" as opposed to just barely acknowledging it or even at all.

So, not so much a judgement of the quality of the thought but rather of its existence in the first place.

Yes, exactly this. I certainly don't claim to have any big answers, but at the same time I think these problems with trust were very clear very early on.

Trust is a lot easier if real-life identities and real-life consequences are involved.

Unfortunately the Open Source community has a long history of ties to anonymity culture, which is fundamentally untrustworthy.
