No, I didn’t talk about this. I agree that you can frame low-trust as a trade where you exchange lower catastrophe risk for higher ongoing costs.
Through that lens a decent summary of my argument is:
People underestimate the ongoing costs of low-trust
We are not actually at much risk of catastrophe from being high-trust
Therefore we should stick with high trust
