But the deepest form of trust, Potter argues, is when “a prediction of being well-treated... is grounded in a belief not only in the other’s good will toward oneself but in a belief that the other’s good will is part of a more general disposition that extends beyond the context of this particular relationship” (p. 5). In other words, the reason... See more
"Why Don't Some People Trust My AI?"
Seek people who love and give generously, who have the strength to suffer without causing damage.

Suffering is a tool. Eradicating it from society, may not be a wise choice.

Benjamin Antoine • The Golden era of Substack is over. Now what?
But what I began to notice, through all of it, was that something felt increasingly off. Not just in my own experience, but in the culture surrounding it. What once felt full of possibility had started to feel constricted. The language of freedom was still there, but beneath it was a kind of pressure that didn’t feel creative at all.
