Searching for Trust explores the intersection of trust,
disinformation, and blockchain technology in an age of heightened
institutional and epistemic mistrust. It adopts a unique archival
theoretic lens to delve into how computational information
processing has gradually supplanted traditional record keeping,
putting at risk a centuries-old tradition of the 'moral defense of
the record' and replacing it with a dominant ethos of
information-processing efficiency. The author argues that focusing
on information-processing efficiency over the defense of records
against manipulation and corruption (the ancient task of the
recordkeeper) has contributed to a diminution of the
trustworthiness of information and a rise of disinformation, with
attendant destabilization of the epistemic trust fabric of
societies. Readers are asked to consider the potential and
limitations of blockchains as the technological embodiment of the
moral defense of the record and as means to restoring societal
trust in an age of disinformation.
