This is a bit of a philosophical question but as a novice I am interested to hear what the community believes. My question is: With the growth in popularity in smart contract platforms, does this type of technology risk removing something which is an integral part of all human relationships - Trust?
I understand the benefits smart contracts bring to society in automation but the self-executing nature of smart contracts seems inflexible. My concern is that relationships sometimes entail uncertainty and natural limitation of human foresight (both internal and external factors beyond the control of the parties). My belief is most relationships generally entail some level of interpersonal trust to circumvent these short comings in society.
Very interested to hear what everybody else thinks or has additional resources which will help explore the question further?
Thanks
