Explored that Singapore stat more closely. Trust there is 34%, below America’s 37% 👀 and Denmark: 74%*. What’s world-class is predictability: #2 for safety, #8 for courts. So what makes behavior predictable? Is the lever politeness, or reliable enforcement? Elias: courtiers traded swords for etiquette once kings monopolized violence. Manners stuck because enforcement was predictable. Farcaster is increasingly nudging towards its initial vision: one protocol, several clients, each (wittingly or no) running its own norms experiment. Singapore took decades to find out. Farcaster gets to run several versions in parallel. Fun to watch. * https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-agreeing-most-people-can-be-trusted-vs-most-people-would-try-to-take-advantage-of-you?tab=table
