But his point is that's not what's being asked. The original poster in this sub-discussion said "trust on one" then posted something he regards as "truth" to counteract "the narrative".

He was rightly called out for being someone we can't trust by his own definitions.

"Trust no one" is a bad philosophy because it's infinite regress. And anyone who claims to follow that philosophy at some point reaches a point where they have to be hypocritical and trust someone because unless they've acquired all of this information firsthand by being everywhere at all times they can't say they didn't acquire the information from someone else. And since someone isn't no one, we can't trust them.
