Bhante Subharo :xmpp:<p>I've been doing a lot of thinking around the nature of trust. I received the highly beneficial advice to think over who the most trustworthy people actually are, in my life. A diagram that looks like a bullseye was drawn, and I was invited to fill in actual names of people I know - where do they belong within the rings of the bullseye? The people in the middle are the most trustworthy, and the outermost rings are where the least trustworthy names go.</p><p>It was difficult to decide who's name belonged in which ring of the bullseye. So I assigned numbers to the rings of the bullseye. 1 was in the middle, 9 was right outside the bullseye. I then made a list of all the people I knew. I assigned them all numbers, then thought over the numbers, occasionally changing a number a little more or less.</p><p>When I was finished, I described the meaning of all the numbers, 1 through 9. This labeling made the most sense to me, to give more meaning to these numbers. Here they are:</p><p>1. Deep trust. Someone who totally accepts you as you are.</p><p>2. Someone who wouldn't betray you, has affinity with you, but you can't say they totally accept you as you are. They'd like to see you change.</p><p>3. A friend with a solid character, but affinity? Maybe.</p><p>4. A "fair-weather friend".</p><p>5. Any random stranger on the street. No positive or negative to speak of; still undefined and mysterious. No basis of judgement yet.</p><p>6. Negativity starts here, but it's very subtle and insidious; well hidden. Psychological predation and deception begins here. Plays mind games. Wants to come out looking better than you. Is certainly a "frenemy" or perhaps even worse, wants to turn you into a "flying monkey". A 6 has the mind of a perfect salesman or ambassador. Uses a lot of paltering; deceptive framing of everything. Plays on emotions a lot, seldom facts, unless they fit a narrative.</p><p>7. Corrupt. Has a mind of a racketeer.</p><p>8. Sketchy. Criminality begins here.</p><p>9. Predator. DANGEROUS</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/friendship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>friendship</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spirituality</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trust</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SelfCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfCare</span></a></p>

Erik Jonker<p>It's a small detail but it shows the current way DOGE operates, it makes any trust in US cybersecurity, data and privacy protection dissappear. Not only for governments but also in company contexts. If DOGE is allowed to break all majors laws, US Government and the current oligarchs will also break any other contract or agreement if needed.

Ryan<p>Trust is the infrastructure that allows us to have a society. It’s the roads, the signs, the painted lines that let us move through life without constant renegotiation. Institutions—courts, elections, schools, the press—depend on this infrastructure to carry meaning, decisions, and responsibilities from one place to another.</p><p>Now imagine waking up to find the asphalt torn up in chunks. Lane markers repainted to nowhere. Street signs vandalized or missing. Tires burning under overpasses. Nothing catastrophic. Just relentless small-scale sabotage—enough to make every trip harder, slower, riskier. At first, people are angry. They demand answers. They call for repairs.</p><p>But soon, the complaints start to shift.</p><p>“It’s too expensive to fix all of it.”<br>“We’ve patched that stretch three times already.”<br>“Maybe people shouldn’t rely on these roads so much.”<br>“Everyone’s got GPS now—just find another way.”</p><p>Some even say the damage proves the roads were poorly built to begin with. Not worth saving. Not worth trusting again.</p><p>And so the city adapts—not by fixing the roads, but by redefining what counts as a road. People buy heavier vehicles. They treat breakdowns as personal failures.</p><p>That’s what weaponized unreality is doing to public trust. Not erasing it, but warping it. Making the broken routes seem normal, and blaming anyone who still expects the roads to work.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Unreality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unreality</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trust</span></a></p>
