I feel like many people in this space get a little too carried away trying to eliminate trust entirely.
It could be oversteer for sure.
This viewpoint originally came up for me when trying to figure out how ecash and Fedimints could figure into Bitcoin philosophy for me.
For many people these tools do seem to strike a balance they like.
Trust is a fundamental part of the human experience - we aren't going to do away with it, but we can mitigate the need for it where appropriate.
Absolutely, I guess I'm curious where trust is appropriate and where it isn't. I don't have a good framework for it.

Me neither, and it's tough to figure out. My current thinking is that trust is something that emerges from shared dependency and repeatable behavior. Perhaps frequency of interaction and degree of necessity might be inputs to a framework?
