信任是政治哲学中的一个重要问题。柏拉图的政治哲学建立在不信任的基础上。是普通人——生产者和辅助者——一旦被赋予权力，就会犯下诸如处死苏格拉底这样的暴行。这就是为什么柏拉图要求只有守卫者，那些真正洞察现实本质的人，才应该被赋予权力。
政府本身就是人与人之间不信任的象征。如果没有人会违反法律，我们为什么需要法律?颇具讽刺意味的是，亚当·斯密的聪明之举让我们相信，别人是不值得信任的。资本主义中人们的自私造就了经济的繁荣。

I would argue that it is the contract, not the invisible hand of Adam Smith, that makes for a thriving economy.
Contracts are a layer of "guarantees" against mistrust. Where there is a contract, there is recourse through a court or judicial system (and that court's judgments are made real by enforcement/penury components). Many believe that the only reason the United States succeeded as a free market was because we became a society of contracts (that included recourse against those who dishonor their contracts). Human nature is not trustworthy by any stretch of the imagination. It is naive to believe so. When no one is looking, 99.9% of our species will do the wrong thing. In addition, strong or large businesses will always attempt to crush smaller, weaker businesses in their categories.
Contracts are a key remedy to this. They give a free market its life and dynamism. They reduce risk of loss and encourage small businesses and entrepreneurs to develop new goods and services without fear of being crushed or having their secrets stolen through espionage, or outright piracy. If we didn't have contracts and courts we would end up with four global companies: Disney, Apple, Bank of America, Facebook and Google. The outcome of that would be much less innovation and positive change. This is why we have contracts, courts, regulation and oversight. Without them, the Big 4 companies listed above (or any four substitutes of your choosing) would dominate the landscape and set the market's agenda, killing its creativity and dynamism.

Regarding trust, what of the philosophical quandary as a result of a social worker that had family impacted by the third Reich and could not resist the urge to extract revenge on my mother who was a German national and then went out of her way to make sure that I was placed in the worst homes she could find. the second home was good and they wanted to adopt but at 6 1/2 they were informed it wasn't possible as my mother hadn't signed the authorization forms. The agency..Ville Marie, now called Batshaw youth protection. It was a lie as she had signed the papers a month after my birth. I would then be placed in a hostile family in a very rough district that had a materially negative impact on my future. The irony is that the reason I was up for grabs in the first place was that my real father had been wounded in WW2 fighting for Canada. He met my mother postwar in Canada. His wound prevented his ability to work regularly thus low income and their thinking it best I be adopted. They didn't bank on a vengeful Zionist child welfare agency.

THE GLUE OF SOCIAL LIFE
今天关于信任的非常有趣的讨论说明了这个词的许多含义，在这些讨论中，当出现太多相互矛盾的定义时，这个词本身并不是讨论的唯一受害者，而是定义哲学的实践。是更大的受害者。
John?s ?glue of social life? is the real subject to explore, and it was indirectly in the ?trust? exploration. The central question is why do we make up trust when there isn?t any? Why do we want to trust? Why do we need to trust? Glue.
A reminder: ?arbitrary? is a dangerous term; it is used too often to assert the truth of some proposition that has not been proven. Saying something is ?arbitrary? doesn?t make it arbitrary. An anthropologist friend told me ?Prejudices are ideas that are not based on experience. Don?t confuse prejudice with ideas based on experience.? Or ideas based on a need for glue.

In the 38' World's Fair, in Chicago, I think, there were futurist displays of the city. People were dazzled by the huge highways with traffic that moved about with mechanical precision, like clockwork, at a time when there were no highways at all. But now the highways are all an actuality, and soon the clockwork precision will too, except for those still human operators, dangerously scooting around the clockwork mice our cars are soon to become, who still hope to get where they are going on time. Trust? Isn't it amazing how quickly the crazy and frenzied 'equality' of internet startups degenerated into just another sector of monopolist mega-corporations? I think a fundamental law needs to be instituted before this nightmare grips our world insisting that when there is a mishap between a cyborg and a human it is always the cyborg that is at fault. The principle is this, it is the robot's job to anticipate what we will do, not the other way around! How can we trust a machine whose makers demand that it is never in the wrong, and that only the human is capable of error? Or even crime? Meanwhile, the major tech companies swallow up all available patent rights, troll for more, and even invent patents in their imaginations of inventions they have no idea how to make work and intend not to develop, all to sustain their domination? Distrust? You bet! Just imagine an aerial view of our highways with all the cars moving at uniform precision, as if all directed by a single timekeeper. It's a chilling thought, to my mind, at least.

我想象有一天，美国印钞票的时候会印上我的照片，背面会写着“我相信我自己”。=

How many is one? Is one counted which one and counted as one counted one differently? Descartes arrived at his cogito as, he supposed, the final term of an otherwise complete doubtfulness. Where is the doubt arriving at this image of yourself so dubious what you mean by one?

One plus One is One. = is. Truth is.
?As for Descartes, he reduced himself by removing any questions or doubts from his thoughts and found his true self. Or in todays dictum, (mmm Latin) he rebooted his computer. But he wasn't strong enough to be the "I" he had found, to be One. It takes strength to be true. He began reinserting his faith in God and other such uncertainties back into his true self which led to his dualism again. He tasted the truth and found how sweet it is. Be One, =

Strength? Why? Something opposed to one? Something not one? Your fundamental axiom is conjunction. Strength implies disjunction. But how can you proceed in the reduction to the residue of the certain "one" and "=" purely by conjunction? Or avoid it without indiscernment?

My fundamental truth is One. I find strength in the union of everything, the power of truth. Mathematically equal, the ultimate uniter can be found in every equation, without doubt, without discernment. Have you ever questioned an = sign? The questions in mathematics arise from the judgment of the symbols on either side of =. 2 + 2 = X, 1, 4, anything or everything, right? Equal is an equation's absolute. So much for Godel's "incompleteness," Heisenberg's uncertainty, and religious faith, the search for God?
You question Gary discernment or judgment when it comes to truth. Let me try to help you here. Black's dictionary defines just as only fair. But fairness is not just, it is only uncertainty at best. That fairness arises from the measure of evidence. The scale of justice like an equation has an infinite point of balance, equality again is the single immeasurable absolute. Anything else on either side of equal is fair or unfair at best.
合一也是不可估量的。
民主的目标是什么，加里，不就是平等和自由吗?当我们的历史从根本上讲是为自由而战的时候，你却在质疑绝对。平等是自由的。但你，我们，甚至苏格拉底，都只能质疑什么是真理。为什么真理对每个人来说都不是显而易见的?是单纯，还是复杂遮蔽了它?它离我们如此之近以至于我们看不见或抓不到吗?真理不就是我们吗?一切吗?同样吗?
Why can't you see it too? Do tell, why is equality so difficult for you and for so many others? Have you measured it away? Does measure divide? Who are we to judge?
Beating the equality drum One beat at a time,
=

为什么?因为你固执地迟钝。一个是不同。它只计算不同之处。力量是被赋予的，还是你自己制造的?如果给出，是哪一个?如果都是你自己编的，你还需要它干什么?这种现象和它的概念是有区别的。真空仍然是真空，如果有一些粒子在里面嗡嗡作响。在这些粒子之间仍然是真空。 White is not the same as whiteness, one is different from oneness, obtuseness is different from being obtuse.
There is no induction. Only reductive reasoning can infer from knowing which one is which. And only the completion of that reduction as the differing of its antecedent term are we found what oneness is. But loss, not obstinacy (strength?) is who it is. That is, the different one. Because one is difference.
