…then benefit from. I think, if we started already with that, gave people a better understanding, communicated better how institutions work, how their rules work, we would probably increase something akin to what scholars have called “procedural justice”—increase procedural confidence, procedural trust, trusting institutions, because we understand, “Oh, okay, that’s how it works, that’s what they’re trying to do that; it doesn’t always succeed, but…
