A Matter of Trust, Part 2

In “A Matter of Trust,” I pointed out how untrustworthy people are. If you don’t possess expertise on a topic, it becomes quite challenging to know who you can trust. Yet, you must be able to trust certain people, because no one man can know everything they need to know. …
