It is just like nothing!!

Said by Dan Kaminsky at the Forensecure’12 conference

If you trust everything, you might as well not trust anybody

For the record.. In addition to being an awesome speaker, he is also a down to earth guy. Makes us geeks proud :).

Very thought provoking comment on trust and security by Mark Boyle, the Moneyless Man, on a recent episode of PRI‘s To the best of our knowledge program (I personally transcribed this.. so pls overlook any minor typos 🙂 )

What money has become is.. a substitute for trust. It has now become our primary source of security in the world and what I am trying to do personally is to find my primary source of security in the friendships I have and in my local community and my relationship with earth. Because most countries, such as Argentina and Indonesia and currently Zimbabwe have experienced this hyperinflation and you can have a million dollars in the bank. One day with devaluation, it can almost be worthless. No matter how badly I behave, my friend’s don’t devalue me that quickly. And I think real security comes in our relationships, whether to it be with our planet or whether with our local community. I think what we all can do is build a bit more diversity in how we meet our needs and to not be so reliant on cash.
