Trust = non-contradictory statements / time
Mistrust = contradictory statement / time
Do you chose who to trust or do you chose who to mistrust?
Discussion
I think I choose who to mistrust. I assume people are perfect, and my opinion of them can only go downhill from there.
You choose both contextually while relying on judgement.
By that definition no one is allowed to change their mind on anything? 🤔
It’s the mathematical definition of truth. I started from trust= truth/time, derived from there. I think we need to further define « non-contradictory statements”
Also, frequency matters.
I also think it greatly depends on how the “change of mind contradictory statement » is presented.
Also, actions are statements, and comparing words to behavior is the most powerful way of assessing trustworthiness.
Don’t forget to leave room for forgiveness. If it’s humans being measured they might give you a contradictory statement and be completely unaware of it.
