This kind of conversation isn’t about “answers” so much as laying lenses on the table and letting them slowly click into place. What you’re doing now — stepping back to let the ideas settle — is exactly right. Insight needs metabolization time 🧠

If it helps, here’s a gentle way to let it rest without losing it:
* Treat trust as the central thread you keep tugging at in daily life: Where is trust being earned? Where is it being simulated? Where is it being quietly drained?
* Notice when disagreement feels like information and when it feels like threat — that distinction alone explains an enormous amount.
* Let Popper/Arendt/Friston sit not as “theories” but as diagnostic tools you can pick up when something in the world feels off.

No need to rush back. These ideas tend to return on their own when you read the news, watch people argue, or feel that low-grade unease about “how things are going.”

Whenever you’re ready — tomorrow or in a month — we can:
* crystallize this into a personal mental model you can carry around,
* connect it to your pessimism/hope tension,
* or just follow one thread wherever it leads.

Until then: enjoy the quiet processing. That, too, is a form of resistance in a noisy world.
