"Growing transatlantic trust deficit" sounds like it just happened. Yet, I distinctly remember the two bulls in the China shop, Donald and Elon, stumped on everything and anything.

Until now, I’d never heard of #LeanLogic. By David Fleming.
It asks a fascinating question: how do we live well when endless #growth, cheap #energy and fragile #global systems can’t be taken for granted? His answers aren’t just #technological, but #societal too: #culture and #tradition, local #identity, #community, #trust and #resilience play a key role in building a viable future.

The key insight is that #trust is about making yourself vulnerable to another (physically, financially, emotionally, socially) because, for some reason, you have an expectation that the vulnerability is less.
This means that trust is a step in the information processing of #DecisionMaking.
This means we need to reconsider trust in the light of what we know about decision-making. One of the most important observations in #neuroscience is that there are multiple decision-making systems, each of which use different information processing computations to select actions.
Taking the classic three-stage decision-making system hypothesis* of "instinctual", "deliberative", and "procedural", we find that the trust step is different in each system --- that is, instinctual trust (based on social group dynamics), deliberative trust (based on explicit expectations), and procedural trust (based on reliable experience) are fundamentally different, with different sources, different opposites, and different interactions with institutional consequences.
* One can generalize to include other hypotheses as well, but given the extensive evidence for three systems, we use those as the structure.

Goodwill and Trust in America
In accounting, goodwill is the value of a company over and above the value of its tangible assets. In 2015, for example, Amazon was valued at $67B. When you subtracted its cash and inventories and debts and property, etc., you end up with $3.7B not accounted for. That’s the value of the brand, if you will, an expression of the trust that investors have that Amazon will remain a high-value on-going business.
Businesses can lose goodwill because of accidents or lawsuits or industry changes or stupid decisions. Sometimes they feel they have to use up their goodwill to stay in business. In the late 1950’s, Martin Greenberg, of Gnome Press, was infamous for not paying authors, and for using paper and ink of such low quality that it jammed the printers. In essence, Greenberg used the company’s goodwill as just another pot of money. Ultimately, Gnome Press went out of business, in part because so few wanted to do business with it. In the end, they had little in the way of tangible assets and no goodwill.
For over 70 years the US was known as a staunch ally, as a preserver of the status quo, as a country that, when it counted, kept the promises it made and stood by the agreements it signed. We may have been the big gorilla in the room during negotiations, but we were predictable and stable. This slow, patient, buildup of trust resulted in an enormous fund of goodwill. It’s not that people liked us (although many did), it’s that they trusted us to be predictable.
President Trump is throwing that all away, burning through our international standing like Gnome Press through author’s royalties. He has reneged on agreement after agreement, destroying trust in our word. He has threatened draconian reprisals on countries that don’t acquiesce to our demands to alter existing agreements (Pray I don’t alter them further).
The problem is, the actions he has taken are irrevocable. Not that a future President couldn’t attempt to go back to the status quo ante, but that there will be no longer be any trust that the status quo, any status quo, will hold. If I can’t be sure that a future American President, or her successor, will act in good faith on an agreement, I’ll have every incentive to make an agreement with someone else, or demand a higher payment for agreement from my side.
That’s what we’ve lost, and are continuing to lose.

As #Wisconsin cities flee Flock, its shared #camera network loses value
Over the past few months, a spate of Wisconsin towns and cities have withdrawn from #Flock deals over #privacy and #trust concerns. As they did so, another issue revealed itself: With each city that leaves, the Flock network becomes less useful to the cities that remain. And cities are starting to notice.

The Cost of Being Easy to Love
There's a kind of doubt that doesn't feel like doubt at all. It feels like good sense. You have a feeling, a real one, and before it's even fully arrived some part of you is already checking it: is this safe to say out loud? That check happens so fast most people never catch it working. What they catch is the aftermath: I don't really know what I want. Except that's not quite true. They know. Something just got there first and talked them out of it before they noticed. That's closer to what […]https://getawaywithhamza.wordpress.com/2026/08/15/the-cost-of-being-easy-to-love/

New #preprint just dropped on #psyarxiv
Kanter, Haldar, Redish(2026). A novel view of microfinance: implications of the neuroscience of decision-making. psyArXiv.
We propose a novel perspective on what makes microfinance institutions work. We argue that the key is how the institutional structures interact with the computational underpinnings of decision-making to engender #trust .
Part of a new series I am apparently building on what it means to trust and what underlies the success of societies. 🤔
A collaboration with experts in #microfinance, and #sociology connecting to the #neuroscience of #DecisionMaking. And #economics.

Clear and compelling.“Using generative AI inherently exposes you to the risk of career-ending accusations of plagiarism.
“Before, I said that “generative AI repackages other writers’ ideas and words as your own, without giving them credit or citing appropriately.” A lot of people would say that constitutes plagiarism—especially people who make their living as creative writers. I generally agree with them, but that’s not the point of this post.
“What I’ve come to realize is that, regardless of any true similarity between your words and someone else’s, or your ideas and someone else’s, generative AI exposes you to risk that you, as a writer, cannot mitigate.
“This is true for three basic reasons:
“Plagiarism is subjective.
“Plagiarism is a continuum.
“Not all plagiarism accusations are made in good faith.”
End quote. The case of Gay, cited (NOT relitigated) makes the point (plagiarism accusations as a career-ender) even clearer. And you need to be able yo trust your co-authors - another reason for adopting an explicit standard.
Also mentions the original problem (or academic ‘sin’): the black box nature of generative AI/ LLMs such that you have no idea whose words or works it’s citing (so you can’t ‘fix’ it by adding the correct citations, for instance).#careerEndingAccusationsOfPlagiarism #genAI #LLMs #plagiarism #AbsentCitation #cannotFix #cannotMitigate #trust

#Question = When will politics move beyond xyz now?
#Answer = When more people answer each other and increase responsibility:
(online, to #trust more eventually offline)
1/ Humans develop Humans.
2/ Voice #chat + anonymising #filter helps mask speakers from predators but still sounds human enough (not machine-like).
Without humans-teaching-humans the experience of #life, #knowledge & #expertise is incomplete.
#Human #voice helps learn / teach ?
Not just Web, Text, Pics? -
@renardboy I was thinking something, about people who know we are good and can take advantage of our trust or goodwill attempts... something about that consistency and consistent vector to breaking / dividiing us has me bothered because you need to #trust to get to certani places of humanity almost without needing to upload your passport or even name here (I believe in near-anonymous co-operation where the principles and way speak for themselves and are the main trust) but it's hard...

Worry Wart
The troubles of this passing day
weigh heavy on my head,
until I join the hollow-eyed,
the weary walking dead;
I stumble through the crumbling streets
where nameless fears are bred,
consumed by temoral things
and this mortal dread.
O, that this wart of worry
might be lifted from my head,
this small, persistent torment
on which my fears are fed;
that I might cease rehearsing
each bitter word unsaid,
and stop imagining sorrows
still waiting up ahead.
O, let me quit resisting
the road where I am led,
and trust the ground beneath me
though shadows o'er me spread,
for life is more than trembling
before the things I dread—
perhaps the path I fear to walk
leads to trust instead.August 8, 2015 (exp. 2026)

The Curse of the Big Picture
I am a big picture person.
Some people see the trees. Some people like me see the forest. And it is real easy to get hopelessly lost in the woods.
Seeing the big picture, getting a vision for something larger, can be a good thing. But I am finding it to be a curse.
Take my house for instance. We’re in the middle of what seems like an eternal renovation. We bought a fixer-upper. That was what we could afford. We did a little bit of stuff, and then we moved in. We adopted children, dogs, and a bunny. Jobs. Family. Church. School. Community. Our house and lives are full.
We get a little bit done here and a little bit done there, but overall the entire project is not finished. That can be overwhelming. I try to be content, but it just seems like I am constantly trying to finish up some project in the house. I am constantly reorganizing and shifting things from one place to the other as I work on this room or that room. Things are getting done, I guess, but it doesn’t seem like the house is.
The same is true with what is happening in the world.
When I look at the big picture, it doesn’t seem like we have evolved very much as a human species. It doesn’t seem like a whole lot has changed. We continue to kill each other. We seem to have the same problems in the same parts of the world. A lot of good people are expending a lot of energy to make things better so why are things worse? It’s not like we are not smart enough to figure things out. Somehow there is a lack of will, a subtle difference of opinion, a miniscule roadblock, that keeps us from coming up with a workable, lasting solution. We recognize the problems but we don’t seem to be able to figure out how to solve them.
So then the big picture part of me asks, what good is it to even participate in trying to make the world a better place? The trees are lost in the midst of the forest, as it were. What good does all the marching, shouting, writing, advocating, working, praying for the good of others do if the world around us is not becoming more like the kingdom of God? Or at least if not getting better, then not getting worse?
It is the curse of the big picture.
Because if I do one thing that helps one person, then what I did matters to that one person. The action may or may not have a ripple effect. It may not change the world. But it changes the world of that one person alive for this moment in time.
And what about me? What occurs within me when I live this way, when I work for the common good, when I resist the constant tendency towards selfish narcissism, even if I see no tangible results in anyone around me?
So as the old gospel song goes: “I am working on a building for my Lord, for my Lord.”
The building is in really, really bad shape.
But it has a lot of rooms and in those rooms are a lot of people.
And among those people might be the one person who needs you or me.
A lot of really excellent carpenters, more talented than you and I, have been working on this Holy Ghost building for a long, long time.
They walked this earth before us and did the best they could. They never saw the earth become what God wishes it to be. Why did they keep going? Why did they keep doing what they did? Why did they give their lives for something that they could never see? What right do I have to give up and do no less?
A lot of questions, many of which I do not have the answers to.
All I can do is keep working on the building.
For my Lord.
For my Lord
