Implicit Trust
This post-industrial world of high flying
technological innovations has created
disproportionate wealth for its entrepreneurs
unimaginable in the past, where founders
gain the vaunted status of imperial celebrity
with fortunes built on the substance of belief
in the wares and futures of intelligence in a
world where mere physical labour has become
passe. Under the imprimatur of one of the
world's most impressive cutting-edge
communications systems appears a public
appeal assuring the skeptical that the founder
pledges his multinational with its octopus
arms firmly lodged in all advanced countries
of the globe has no goal other than to fulfill
the needs of its clients, a formidable task
for which the giant corporation's skills and
experience are confidently suited. Who could
possibly doubt the integrity and full disclosure
of a man with such a brilliant mind humbling
himself with this appeal reminding readers
of past reliability in successfully achieving
goals, now prepared to extend its army of
technicians for the latest of such goals to
bring prosperity to all nations recognizing
the wisdom of engaging it in the latest advance
toward a future of global communications
endowed with speed and breadth of coverage
none can rival? All that is lacking alas, is trust
that this group's brilliant technology does not
become an entry portal for mass surveillance
and espionage by a massive nation whose own
performance in both have become internationally
notorious much less its penchant for co-opting
the allegiance of its multitudinous state aligned
corporations sweeping the world of commerce.
