    I defined trust as a "reasonable expectation" based on past experience.

    Goodness never entered into my definition.

    For example, I trust that some drivers on the freeway will be lousy. And I trust that there isn't a bomb in my closet.

    One can trust in an expected outcome, without making subjective "good or bad" decisions about the outcome.

    If you don't think that's what trust is, then we can't continue the conversation about the impact of trust on society.
