What’s ironic is that much of our woke/tech/phone-app/green “innovation” depends on high levels of social trust.

Want to book an unsupervised, communal bike, with a phone app, use it for 1 hour, and return it unbroken to a distant point, for someone else to use?

Well, ALL the players and all the nodes of that system must be “honest players,” must be responsible, relatively high IQ, etc...

A few bad actors acting purely selfishly, or irrationally, or against the system itself - can easily destroy the system for everyone.
