We may have lost the illusion of trust, but I don’t think humanity has experienced genuine trust in over 10,000 years. I also don’t think it’s possible for humanity to experience genuine trust when we live in such opposition to our nature. It may sound pessimistic or nihilistic or defeatist, but I truly believe that we all know, deep down, that trust isn’t possible in this current world, and when we deceive ourselves into believing that it is, we lose even more trust because we are lying to ourselves.
