Blink, blink, blink - Minister Morse?

Is trust really rarer today than in the past?

Can you build trust?

How?

Why not?

TheEditor had a goldfish moment the other day. New insight!
Which is unfair to goldfish and scientifically proven to be false, but we'll use the term until we find a better one.

There was minister, a secretary, on the screen telling the audience the government had found proof that some bad guy was planning a bad thing, bad even in terms of general bad guy things.

TheEditor heard the statement, saw the face and yet saw only one detail: blinking eyelids.

It felt as if the minister was using the TV interview to practice morse code with the eyelids.

Short bat, long bat, short, short, short, long, fade.

A lot of people at the time thought the government was making up the whole threat scenario.

The eyelids actually gave it away.

We know for sure now, over 100 000 or so dead humans later, we are certain.

The minister is no longer in government but has a much less lid batting prone career.

So, can you trust people?

Yes, you can trust everybody to be exactly who they are.
