“The consequence of NOT defaulting to truth [is that] if you don’t begin in a state of TRUST, you can’t have meaningful social encounters.”
Defaulting to truth makes us vulnerable to lies, deception, and misinformation, BUT recognizes that humankind operates and socializes most efficiently when we assume that the person is being truthful/honest rather than suspecting every word or action.

“You believe someone not because you have NO doubts about them. Belief is not the absence of doubt. You believe someone because you don’t have ENOUGH doubts about them.”(p. 78)
