Worth noting

Nic thought that my definition of “trust” was noteworthy.

She thought trust was consistency. That is, the ability to trust someone to act in a certain way, every time.

I said, no, it’s that person considering your best interests when they make a decision. That is, constraining themselves in the interests of another.

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

I find that when the stakes are high, people conveniently lose their empathy and can’t even imagine what your best interests might be.

Odd that, eh?

As they say in the venture capital world, there’s never enough equity to go around. Someone’s gain is someone else’s loss.

We are mercantilist, emotionally, despite 200 years plus of enlightenment.

I’m not but. Lol.
