i don’t like trusting “experts” in fact. trusting “experts” is how we got into this mess. people let themselves be manipulated by the media. people need to think for themselves. yes, that includes not believing certain scientific results, but IMO it’s better to discard a scientific result that i cannot follow myself instead of becoming an authoritarian (i.e. one who believes in authors, i.e. other people’s writing) dependent.

Aaaahhhhh, you’re one of those… Good to know. Yeah, your reply makes sense then. Also thanks for telling me early in the discussion that you’re just a science denialist, then we don’t need to waste precious time with a discussion about things that you’ll just disregard at will anyway.

    Also, just to follow up on this, it’s for the largest part not scientists that got us into this mess, whatever in particular that may be. The world would be much better off if people had more trust in science. That’s too much to demand though it seems, especially from boomers. So here we are, with populists messing stuff up and people like you blaming scientists for the results.
