Is there no place in your world for authorities at all? For trust at all? For trusted flawed authorities to become untrusted liar non-authorities in people’s minds?
I have no idea why you are talking about perfect authority.
- ncmncm 4y agoPeople can become "untrusted liar non-authorities" in people's minds independent of any actions of their own. The best they can do is their best, and hope not to attract the attention of demagogues.
- jtbayly 4y agoOf course they can become untrusted regardless of what they do. But the whole question is whether you acknowledge that people also have a major impact through their actions of what people think of them. What exactly is “doing their best”? Is it lying, trusting the end to justify the means?
- ncmncm 4y agoYou still have not said who you think is lying, or what you think they are lying about.
