> A "zero-trust society" seems like a dangerous phrase to advocate. Thatcher and Reagan were a long way ahead there. They trusted institutions so little, particularly government, that they declared society doesn't exist. We've been trying to rebuild "society" since the 1980s. Sadly the restoration our very human institutions, if it can be done at all, may only occur after all the painful lessons have been learned from thinking we can install crypto-cybernetic overlords as our servants.
