I realized that’s what they meant but I was worried that tying low-trust with cheating students from a country that has a tarnished image because of tech scams and low-wage tech workers might paint a different picture to those who don’t know about the term or OPs intent.

I am from India, and I just recently completed my Masters from a US university. I have never cheated in my life when it comes to interviews, exams, or assignments; not once. I am worried that calling us “low-trust” because of your experience with a few students might lead others to think that the entire country that is so diverse and large is comprised of just an incompetent set of cheaters. I agree that a lot of students cheat, but that's true of students from other countries(like US, Uk, etc) as well. I know this from my experience as a TA. I love computer science and so do many of my friends.

Edit: I should also add that I realize by low-trust OP meant the academic term for kinship-based society but my worry is that tying low-trust with cheating students from a country that gets its image tarnished because of various other reasons like low-wage labour and tech scams might paint a different picture to those who don’t know about the term or OPs intent

I agree, I feel chronic diseases due to bad lifestyle is going to be the single biggest cause of mortality unless we figure a way out of it. These things compound and don’t show up as cause for concern until early 30s/40s. You then are left with notions like treatments, management, and maintenance. Even if you end up living like this till 80 or 100, I don’t think you can have the same quality of life that you could have had if it weren’t for them.

Thanks a lot.. Been watching Keenan Crane’s videos on YouTube. This would be really helpful.

For anyone else interested in Alg geo, Ravi Vakhil’s videos are very good and accessible.

Are there lecture recordings?
