Trust as a mathematical equation

Trust can be reduced to a mathematical equation. You cannot trust anyone who has anything to gain from you believing them. These are propagandists and can be found everywhere: particularly in the media, the government and the major institutions, public and private.

Those who you MAY be able to trust have nothing to gain from whether you trust them or not. They have nothing invested in the "trust" game. Therefore, they are not trying to manipulate your view. They MAY be trusted, with the accent on MAY. But it doesn't mean they're right.
