i tend to agree to an extent.

we can’t keep chasing the approval of the most paranoid, many of them quite literally will never ever be satisfied.

the number of times throughout our day we trust and rely on something done by another human numbers in the thousands.

too many people have this weird fantasy that we can somehow have (or even need) “zero trust”, and for almost anything this is a fantasy of the paranoid and not at all based in coherent reality.

and even more importantly, even if we could, for soooo many things “zero trust” wouldn’t solve the problems anyway.
