Posts where this quotation is embeddedPerhaps the clinching point is that trust is an essential ingredient of belief formation.
Why?
Because we don’t have the time to check the evidence for everything, so we have to take some things at face value.
We trust doctors, chemists, and teachers.
Even experts trust other experts, taking their data and outputs as inputs for their own deliberations because checking from first principles is virtually impossible.
The world of information, somewhat like commerce, is presupposed by trust.
