I'm pretty sure this sort of thing happens because of bad parenting - people that don't trust anything come up with the idea of distributed systems that have no need of any anchor for trust anywhere.
so i have lots of problems with this - starting from systems - and the classic ken thompson reflections on trusting trust. These deecntealization extremists have to confront that they run software on hardware, and even if they build their own hardware and write their own software, they probably use an OS and a Compiler from somewhere else. However, it gets worse. Why should we trust the actual zero knowledge protocols they use? who has verified them, and how? why do we trust those verfication tools (peoples' brains too). And worse still. Why should we trust this new fangled idea zero. The Romans and Greeks and ancient mesopotamians got along fine without it.
No. I have zero trust in zero trust.
