  • As someone who is an expert in one area and as dependent as anyone else in others, and who also hates appeals to authority -

    To me, the correct stance is that any should be able to question things that don’t make intuitive sense or that one suspects might be a perspective motivated by financial considerations instead of expertise.

    Note that I said question. Not invent your own replacement fever-dream explanation.

    Not pitch something where its main virtue is that it makes ignorance feel good actually.
