Editing Trust

'''Trust''' for our purposes can be divided into [[found trust]], [[built trust]] and [[grown trust]].  It can be measured as "[[social capital]]" but not very reliably, as usually a [[faction]] gets involved in what behaviour is seen as admirable or reliable or even predictable, and is certainly required to create [[reputation]].

[[Troll]]s tend to challenge prevailing ideas about trust - on [[large public wiki]]s they very often succeed in reversing people's beliefs about reputation and trustworthiness, by using a sort of [[scientific method]] of baiting [[sysop]]s.  This works quite reliably and may bring about [[regime change]].

In response to 18th century trolls, who created the French Revolution and American Revolution, [[governance organization]]s began to use [[distrust]] more explicitly, to prevent trust from becoming too centralized.  This is probably what the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] should do on day one, instead of repeating all of political evolution as [[Wikipedia]] is doomed to do, wasting years trying to deny that [[politics as usual]] is also inevitable and that [[factionalism]] is probably good too, when it's correctly supported and each element of the [[political spectrum]] has their own role & [[faction]] to protect [[common interests]].

A [[legal trust]] like a [[patent pool]] is a different question entirely.

See [[w:trust]] for a more general discussion of both ideas of trust.
