It's not simply a matter of trust. You should assume it's all insecure. It's a matter of whose interests align with yours the most.

It's about trust more than anything.

My point is that where and on what level you put your trust is a choice, each with their own risks.

Trust matters.

We don't. Trust is relative, not absolute.

although in both cases, Trust is very important.

"If you don't trust each other, trust us": a very understandable value proposition. Also very understandable trade-offs.

Thank you, your remarks about trust seem to hit the core issue at hand to me.

It's not about yourself, but about understanding others. People grow up differently, have had different experiences, and hence have different risk assessments on who they trust and what they're willing to lose when that trust is misplaced.

Trust isn't binary. It's a scale of weighted risks.

I'm just guessing trust is a big factor here. I'm more likely to trust someone I've met.

Trust is fragile, even when you're talking about the relationships and reputations of a business.

mro_name | karma 769 | avg karma 1.02 · | 2022-08-22 02:28:00

because it's about trust.

theboywho | karma 1054 | avg karma 4.95 · | 2013-12-26 10:08:04+00:00

Your trust issues are showing.

Well, what profession are you in? If you're a lawyer, or a financial advisor, or, yes, a doctor, then your revealed character absolutely has a bearing over whether you're a fit and proper person to be in a position of trust.

sbuk | karma 3097 | avg karma 1.67 · | 2020-06-25 08:46:47

It’s still about trust.

fulafel | karma 12262 | avg karma 1.65 · | 2023-08-21 22:59:17

Trust isn't binary, there are several dimensions and varying levels of trust along those.

Trust is one of those things that is asymmetrically visible. It's very easy to not notice the many many times a person or organization is trustworthy and only see the instances where they are not.

nixpulvis | karma 3491 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2018-04-06 21:41:57+00:00

Either trust yourself, or trust someone else. (of course it's generally impossible to avoid some amount of trust in others.)

Ignoring whether it's a good idea, this is not trivial these days - both parties need to really trust each other given the number of ways things can go wrong.
