Agreed.

In my opinion, though, you should also be able to trust some *for something specific*, not trust them across the board. For instance, I may trust the entity "shitcoin bots tracking collective" to provide me with a list of npubs to block, or I may even grant it the rights to automatically block them for me. (At a later point, when I notice that the "shitcoin bots tracker" has become overzealous, or maybe has quality issues, I can revoke that privilege.)

This is different from trusting that entity unconditionally for everything, there should always be a scope.

Yup. Hard to do this in the digital realm in a way that people will actually do but you’re right, we do this sort of delegation of decision making based on trust all the time.

Yes, we do it intuitively.

Making it explicit is a difficult job, I agree. Because the abstraction needs to be simple enough that people actually want to use it.
