Block I Summary
Block I in one page: the diagnosis of the crisis of trust and the road to a new synthesis.
We’ve journeyed from the anthropological roots of trust to the diagnosis of the contemporary crisis. We’ve seen:
- Trust is a biological need with which people are born.
- Tribal trust worked but doesn’t scale.
- Religious and state trust have weakened.
- Today we live in a world of total lies and anonymity.
- People are tired of deception and seek transparency.
- Technology (blockchain) enables a new trust mechanism.
The next block focuses on philosophy and theory—why the new system is not only possible but also just. We’ll answer: what is justice in a reputation world? How is the new system connected to the ideas of North, Ostrom, Schelling, Weber? Why does reputation become the primary capital of the 21st century?
For now, let’s fix the main idea of the first part:
A human being is born with an open heart. Life teaches them to close it. Our task is to create a world where one can be open without risking deception.
