When young, we trust ourselves too much, and we trust others too little when old. Rashness is the error of youth, timid caution of age.
Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 363 (1820)

Matthew Carey's book #Mistrust: An Ethnographic #Theory is, like lots of #anthropology, refreshing and mind-expanding. His focus is on the High Atlas mountains of #Morocco. There's interesting discussions of lying, tolerance, conspiracy, etc. He even touches upon #anarchism, although in a somewhat superficial fashion. And I personally prefer "mistrust" to refer to "mistaken trust" as opposed to just a synonym for #distrust. But, it's still provocative and worth the time. #HAUBooks

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld, Francois:
«
We should be more ashamed to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
[Il est plus honteux de se défier de ses amis que d’en être trompé.]

#Eumetsat has just canceled the launch of one of its devices with the #European 🇪🇺 rocket, choosing #SpaceX instead. This decision, taken just a few days before Tuesday's launch, appears to be a sign of #mistrust 🤔🙄 https://www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/2024/07/10/ariane-6-a-small-step-for-europe-in-space_6680074_23.html
…The responses of dozens of prospective jurors to questions in open court reflected some of the most pervasive & divisive issues in American society, w/jurors discussing their views on #gun ownership & #mistrust of the #judicial process.
And in a trial where the #criminal defendant has been public about his struggles w/ drug #addiction, the #jurors told the court about similar battles fought by their parents, children & friends.

>> #Iran has been fighting #proxy wars against #SaudiArabia (#KSA) since 1970s. In March 2023, #China SECRETLY brokered their #rapprochement ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111393282111223814
Rapprochement or not, #mistrust still lingers between #ArabLeague and #Iran.
Saudi Arabia expelled 6 members of a crew from its state TV broadcaster after they had been detained ahead of the #hajj.
There have been tensions for decades between #Sunni & #Shia, particularly around the hajj pilgrimage.

Why were politicians sure that this simplistic communication would not cause deep #mistrust in those people? It did cause mistrust about all the public media channels ( #lies , #lugenpresse ). Those people now prefer to read #epochtimes ,and the like. They stopped believing in any scientific result. Now, that mistrust is truly damaging.

He won’t believe the shape
Of what he sees on the page
Unless he has watched it
Being formed by the hands
Which claim its origin.
The aura of mistrust
Was bred into him by all
The broken promises of
His youth, the turned
Backs when most he
Needed open arms. He
Is exhausted by all this.
The spoken word is even
Less reliable, even when
Liars look in his eyes.
He cannot interpret signs.
Shrouding mist, woven with lies
cripple the strongest ties of steel
leaving nothing
but hearts, with holes corroded, behind
whatever mistrust
lingers in your heartful mind
greet with a bye wave

#throwbackthursday from "way back" in February this year:
"Biggest danger of current-gen #AI is its self-perpetuating echo chamber that #sabotage future AI model data sets with samey content rather than more organic original data.
Can lead to homoginized less unique creations in the future."
Half a year-ish later, and we got falsified books/articles/patents/younameit, perpetuating #mistrust in modern web
