Evidence

Trustworthiness not only requires that one share the interests of the other as directly or indirectly one’s own but also requires the competence to serve those interests. Dylan’s lyrics are for and about a generation of people who commonly doubted their own competence and who were often as impulsive as Dylan’s lyrics suggest. — Russell Hardin, Trust and Trustworthiness, 188
