This world runs on trust. For example it's extremely easy to shoplift, yet the vast majority of people don't. Because people are not like that. It's easy to forge things, yet most people don't, it's easy to snatch and grab random objects from people or places, yet, people don't.
The next time you are out, think like a criminal and see just how much stuff you would be able to do, yet you don't, and neither does anyone else.
It's a tiny minority who do abuse that trust.
(And we are not "one evolutionary step", we are several orders of magnitude steps away from chimps. In intelligence chimps are more similar to dogs than they are to humans, chips are smart - for animals. In comparison to humans they just aren't.)

- eesmith 2y agoUnfortunately, the intrinsic distrust due to globally connected computers is seeping its way into the real world.
