The one that resonated the most with me was "As tools, content, and systems multiply, trust stops scaling. Not because people are more cynical, but because evaluation collapses under volume. When everything looks plausible, verification becomes too expensive. Familiarity turns into the default heuristic."
Exactly. Trust collapses inward. Back to small, back to near, back to known. Not nostalgia - necessity. When verification is too expensive, proximity becomes the only reliable signal. It's the only thing that still scales at human speed.
And this creates real economic value in things we thought didn't matter anymore - local brands, known faces, boring institutions.
Wow, lots of angels and topics, very cool!
