Trust as a Proxy for Certainty in Society

This paper explores the concept of trust as a foundational element that provides certainty within various societal frameworks. It defines trust and security, analyzing their interrelatedness and societal properties. The argument posits that trust is a necessary accessory that makes insecurity more bearable while fostering social cohesion. Through various illustrations, such as the moon landing and personal experiences, it highlights trust's role in mitigating risk and ensuring collective safety in different scenarios, underscoring its paramount importance in human interactions.
