Trust as a reflexive phenomenon in rhetorical interaction

Trust and distrust are filters of incoming information. Suggestion is possible only in the presence of trust. Distrust is one of the first mechanisms of counter-suggestion. Counter-countersuggestion overcomes the barrier of distrust. The most effective means of counter-countersuggestion is persuasion, but it is not always based on the ethical responsibility of the speaker. In such cases, possession of relevant information becomes the universal defense.
