Trust is essential for navigating this uncertainty, but it has eroded as incentives drive people to stretch or even fabricate the truth. While technology offers potential solutions, it has also contributed to the erosion of trust.To regain trust, it is crucial to adopt a long-term perspective and seek out individuals and organizations committed to gradually building trust through consistent integrity. This requires patience and a willingness to resist the allure of instant gratification.Charlie Munger emphasizes the importance of hiring trustworthy individuals first, as trust fosters efficiency and loyalty.
