This is a very black and white way of looking at trust. Trust is earned, it can be broken, it can be rebuilt. All human relationships are built upon trust, and it is fallible just like anything else. To have trust is to create vulnerability. However, just as you mention, that vulnerability comes with an upside.
What you are saying is: because there is vulnerability in trust, you should trust no one.
- oarsinsync 7y ago> All human relationships are built upon trust Relationships with corporations are not the same as human relationships. Being open with other humans is part of the human experience. Being open with special legal entities that we have fabricated as societies for economic gain is justifiably questionable.
- dhimes 7y agoEven so, I'm not convinced that trust can be completely rebuilt. Maybe it varies with the person, even in human relationships.

- rapind 7y agoMost direct human to human relationships don't come with a 40 page privacy policy and terms of use that they reserve the right to change on a dime. A rational stance is not to trust anyone that requires you to agree to a bunch of legalese without having a lawyer review it first.
