   The bottomwit lives by his instincts passed down from thousands of generations & serve him pretty well.
   
   The midwit has been "educated" not to trust those instincts & instead trusts people.
   
   The topwit knows that people are unreliable & reasons things out for himself.
   
   In an information warfare environment, topwits thrive, bottomwits survive, and midwits get wiped out.

     It's not just that people *lie*, people make mistakes, they are overconfident, they repeat someone else's lies.
     
     Trust The Experts is a really sure way to eventually get wiped out.
     
     And right now we're living through what can only be described as persistent information warfare. Forget about mis/dis/mal-information, the real misinformation attack is when the attacker gets the censorship team to censor the truth so that their attack message is totally uncontested.

     @cjd I've had to learn the hard way not to trust people and I'm better off as a result

     @cjd @PurpCat @Hyolobrika the gamers won gamergate and all they had to do was let them play their video games. now the anime pfp are ready to activate the fork as the powers that be underestimated them and got destroyed.

     You can trust people to be "honest", but there's a million miles of difference between "honesty" and telling the truth.
     
     Trusting in the political views of a professor is like trusting in the information security of a grandmother. Both professors and grandmothers are very honest people, but that doesn't mean they are reliable in said domains.
     Machismo repeated this.

     I'm just naturally distrusting to some degree. But I'll still trust people if I don't see a reason for them to lie. And of course I trust those close to me.
