  6. I can certainly understand the Iranian regime’s #mistrust of a devious, treaty-breaking, lying Darth #Trump.
    After all, they’ve had bad experiences with him. He’s attacked Iran twice while peace talks were underway.
    No one really wants anything to deal with Trump anymore. His word isn’t worth a dime.

  7. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Dupes indeed are many: but, of all dupes, there is none so fatally situated as he who lives in undue terror of being duped.

  17. A quotation from Montaigne

    Our understanding is conducted solely by means of the word: anyone who falsifies it betrays public society. It is the only tool by which we communicate our wishes and our thoughts; it is our soul’s interpreter: if we lack that, we can no longer hold together; we can no longer know each other. When words deceive us, it breaks all intercourse and loosens the bonds of our polity.
     
    [Nostre intelligence se conduisant par la seule voye de la parolle, celuy qui la faulse, trahit la societé publique. C’est le seul util, par le moyen duquel se communiquent noz volontez & noz pensees : c’est le truchement de nostre ame : s’il nous faut, nous ne nous tenons plus, nous ne nous entreconnoissons plus. S’il nous trompe, il rompt tout nostre commerce, & dissoult toutes les liaisons de nostre police.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 18 (2.18), “Of Giving the Lie [Du Démentir]” (1578–79) [tr. Screech (1987)]

  19. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust — or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding and the confidence and the courage which flow from conviction.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
    Speech (1945-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

  20. #PeteHegseth’s actions, which are without precedent in recent decades, have come w/ little explanation. In many cases, they have run counter to the advice of top #military leaders who fought alongside the officers in combat, snr military ofcls said.

    The utter unpredictability of #Hegseth’s moves, as described in interviews w/ 20 current & fmr military ofcls, has created an atmosphere of #anxiety & #mistrust that has forced snr officers to take sides &, at times, pitted them against one another.

  21. A quotation from Euripides

    MESSENGER: Nothing is more useful to mankind than a prudent distrust.
     
    [ἌΓΓΕΛΟΣ:                    σώφρονος δ᾽ ἀπιστίας
       οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν χρησιμώτερον βροτοῖς.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 1617ff (412 BC) [tr. Coleridge (1891)]

  22. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    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.

    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 363 (1820)

  25. 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

  26. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld, Francois:

    «
    We should be more ashamed to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

    »

  28. …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.

  29. @tanweerdar

    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.

  30. #Journalism #News #Media #Mistrust #Minorities: "There’s a new report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism that focuses on distrust of news media — and what news organizations might be able to do about it.

    Let’s get the bad news out of the way: the news industry is unlikely to find a silver bullet. “There is no single trust problem, and therefore there is no single trust solution,” the first line of the report reads.

    The report draws on a series of focus groups with 322 people from “disadvantaged or historically underserved communities” in four countries. (In Brazil, focus groups contained Black and mixed-race audiences. In India, Muslims and those from “marginalized castes or tribes” were interviewed. In the U.K., the authors focused on working-class audiences. And in the U.S., Black and rural audiences were in the spotlight.) Despite differences between and among the focus group participants, several familiar themes emerged. Participants thought the news could be unfair, inaccurate, sensationalized, and subject to “hidden agendas” they believed shaped coverage behind the scenes."

  31. Today I tried out the AI copilot in Microsoft's search engine "Bing", integrated into the Edge browser. Usually I use other browsers and DuckDuckgo as search engine. I have never used Bing before. Still, the proposal of subjects that the AI copilot gave me were very precise, and I dont think "Shakespeare", "Number Theory" and "Composing electronic music with AI" are popular topics. So, where did the copilot get that information about me?
