True, Truth, Trust, Verify
"Trust has to do with what we can do together without doubting."
— Humberto Maturana
The father of Autopoietic Theory had a lot to say about the concepts of trust, truth and verification .
In the 70's - during the peak post-moderism rise in Chilean society - think Pinochet era being born out of this mileu. ..
... Manturana was part of this "cybernetics of cybernetics "movement that help shape the formulations of autopoiesis concept... this second order cybertics movement had a completely different attitude towards sciencetifc truth - post 60's science crisis was a big thing!
Today in Bitcoin space the terms "self-organizing" and "self-producing" get applied to descibe the bitcoin network, which, I think , often is implicitly suggesting the bitcoin networking is a n honest, natural and organic - system based on Truth.
The word TRUTH is everywhere. I hope my adventures in to Manturana's auto-poiesis will provide a different perspective on the mantra:
Don't trust. Verify.
