Yes, today we live in societies, where its hard to trust anything - government, people, anything - of course, they have designed it like this. This is why people hearken back to the days when you felt like you were part of a community. We need to bring that back - it is the most important aspect that people build on - which is, again, why its being destroyed on purpose.
You are right about SHFT - when that happens, a lot of people will understand, the value, of having people you can trust.
Thanks!
