So "trust but verify" is now out dated?

Actually I believe people are likely too lazy(?) to "verify" and take responsibility for their own decisions of who/what to trust, easier to blame everything not going their way on someone else's shortcoming.

I am in my world responsible for who and what I decide to trust, and I have been wrong in the past , and it will be certainly be true more times in the future, but its still my decision, nobody else to blame but me. My observations indicate to me, my thinking is not very common today, but its the way I was raised.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
