Not specifically as to be invasive, but how far do you take "don't trust, verify" in other aspects of life? Or do you lean more in the "trust but verify" camp?

Trust and verify when it’s important enough to warrant it.

I suppose importance is relative there but I like that answer

Definitely relative to each person, as well as to the circumstances/setting.

Knobs & dials everywhere 😂🫂

😂😂

I dunno. I'm going to have to think about this 🤔

Definitely not one to hand out trust easy for a plethora of reasons.

But in personal life verify dont trust has no place seems toxic and draining

Working from no trust to complete trust in another person is a beautiful thing. 💜

Its the best.

I think when it comes to verify dont trust a lot can fall in that camp.

Companies telling you hey this definitely doesnt cause cancer bro.

Politicians saying anything

Trade etc.

At the end of the day all we can truely verify is what we do ourself and who wants to live that lonely life

Thats what matters🫂

Maybe it's, "Trust proof of power/work, verify everything else" for me.

So verify to understand, then trust as verified?

I’ve been making a lot of large deals lately, wherein I was at the mercy of the other party due to circumstances. It’s been really nice to trust people and have them follow through on their word. It’s been reassuring, to say the least.

I don’t want to live in a trustless world. It would be a dark and lonely place.

So I guess I’m in the trust, until you give a me reason not to trust you, with certain safeguards in place so that I don’t get burned too bad….

Whatever you have going on, I hope it continues to work out.

A trustless world would be pretty bleak. Paranoia drives so much unnecessary fear anymore. I feel sad for kids who can't walk to the park over something that will likely never happen, y'know?

So far so good, but there’s a big one coming up and I don’t trust the other party at all. But, it won’t be the end of the world if it goes awry. We will be okay.

I hear ya about the park. Raising formidable, dangerous, children has helped to set my mind at ease.

🔥 that beats raising kids who are terrified of the world any day 💜

I'll send you some good vibes for your upcoming deal/exchange/interaction. Forward always, my friend 🫂

Thanks. Always 🫂, it’s the only gear we have.

I use this to deal with myself to see the lies I'm telling myself or something I need to take a closer look. sometimes I'm saying something and my throat is uncomfortable, then I know I must check what I'm saying. and also thoughts, and ideias and narratives... I don't know if that's what you were talking about haha I'm sorry if it makes no sense

It makes sense. Trusting yourself is hard when so much of the world tells you or signals to you that you are somehow wrong. Sometimes we do lie to ourselves. Sometimes we are the only ones being honest with ourselves. It's very hard to tell the difference.

yes. that's it. ☺️
