> I used to think that trust was something that needed to be eliminated ... I've come to realise that most people can be trusted most of the time You are confusing the NEED to trust with the ABILITY to trust - and the are almost opposite things in some regards. You need to trust car drivers to stop at a traffic light not to run over you. This is disempowering: your life is in their hands. If we can remove the need to trust drivers (e.g. with automatic braking) it's good. If you CAN trust your neighbor to water your plants when you are away this is empowering. You can freely choose what to do.
