   I'm reading an article on trust and data sharing in farm systems; found something really interesting.

   There are (at least) two competing ways to approach trust.

   One is a "contractarian-individualist" approach, which assumes that trust is created through rational arguments. Give people sufficient reason to trust, and they will.

   The "social-phenomenological" approach says that trust isn't constructed but emerges from social/individual experience.

     "Both approaches to trust are hard to combine, according to Coeckelbergh, as they start from different presuppositions regarding the nature of relationships. It is imaginable, of course, to take the social perspective as a starting point and to consider trust to be the default situation from which one deviates only when there is a problem, which demands a rational trust assessment and a kind of ‘contract’."

     "However this presupposes that we always have a choice with regard to our social relationships and that this choice is rational and voluntary and that we can also always retreat from relationships. This however exaggerates the rational nature of our relationships, according to Coeckelbergh, and he writes that: ‘Sometimes we trust in spite of good reasons not to trust, or sometimes we mistrust in spite of good reasons to trust’"

     O'Neill: "Informed consent, just like a ‘contract’ in contractarian–individualist approaches to trust, may take informal forms in practice but also more formal ones that are like signed ‘contracts’. This informed consent or ‘contract’, in O’Neills perspective, does not have a primary role in establishing or founding trust relationships; it is only used in situations in which people who already trust each other consider doing something that could potentially harm the trust between them."

     "The trust that was already there in society is maintained by asking consent for an action that would break (tacit) social norms. Consent therefore functions as a trust maintainer, rather than as the fundament of trust."
