How do you know who to trust?
I've been actively studying trust for the better part of a decade, but, recently, as I have been digging through the published research, most of the thinking about who to trust becomes a conversation about what to trust.... - stephen...
How does UpTrust handle inquiry?
With only a few exceptions, it seems to me that the posting/commenting here tends toward making and responding to statements. Is there an implicit/explicit cultural value around making (controversial) statements on UpTrust?... Sci-Trust – Compare trust among researchers based on their citations
Today we launched scitrust, a tool for comparing trust among researchers based on their citations. What if you could see the bias of different academic researchers? Where their rankings overlap and differ?... applying uptrust's algorithm to X data "tpot" and seeing who trusts what

I read the article. still hung up on discerning the truth. The article maybe implies that the only way to discern the truth with finality is legal judgement but I don’t believe that’s what you meant. I research quite a bit.... - onDocumented Inconsistencies From COVID 19 Displays to Current Surveillance and Supply Systems + Other NewsbyAaron87656...
There is a time to weep, certainly. So, who can we really trust when people court solidarity in times of crisis? Unfortunate that the choices of workers and/or government can burn the needs of the people.... - geofffitch...
