“For all Wichtig spoke of trust, he trusted no one. For all he spoke of wisdom, he learned nothing. Every word he uttered was done so with an eye toward manipulation.”

Meaning

This reads as a warning about empty language, where words about trust and wisdom are stripped of their moral weight by the speaker’s conduct. It points to a person who uses speech as a tool, not a bridge, and it lands in situations where polished talk hides calculation, especially when someone sounds sincere but keeps serving only their own ends.
