Trust in patterns. Sometimes things are not as complicated and overthinking can often happen.

I don’t understand lots of things: how the planet turns; algebra; how aeroplanes stay in the air; anything to do with computers; football; why people love cucumber and I detest it. But I trust the people who do understand.

The alternative is to understand everything I want to trust and that ain't happening.

I do it every day at work

Nope. And it's a steep learning curve

You can trust that someone else who does understand is trying to explain it to you, and you can trust their explanation.

No. And that makes my father very angry!!! When i was a wee girl and he was teaching me to play chess, he just wanted me to do as he said. Would not allow me to make the wrong moves so I could learn from mistakes. I needed to trust him blindly apparently because father knows best. Ok sure … but that’s not how I learn so… that’s why I am a terrible chess player today.

When you trust a person who understands ... probably.

Yes

Personally? I barely trust what I DO understand...but I think in general that's more of a faith thing, like how people define it as 'belief without evidence' anyway yeah I suppose in theory it's possible

Of course not. How could/why should you trust that which you don't understand? If you don't understand it, you can't predict it. If you can't predict it, you can't rely on it. If you can't rely on it, you can't trust it.

I can. Not always, though.
