All this nonsense about the “Experts” and “The Science”.

Rather that think, many people would rather simply link to “experts” or “follow the science”.

I blame our education system and the teachers and professors for doing a shitty job often intentionally. Young people are no longer taught to think.

If you thought about it at all, you’d realize that there are some significant problems with this.

First of all, science and scientists are fallible, they are human too. If you know history, you will know that sciencehas been wrongmore often than right. Scientists USED to believe that they learned just as much from being wrong as they did from being right.

Another problem is that science is for sale. Give a scientist a job and pay him well and he’ll give you science to say whatever you want. Did you know that the tobacco companies had teams of scientists on their side years ago who would claim that there was no link to health problems from smoking.

Another problem with trusting the science and scientists is that science has been politicized. It’s easy to do. Our institutions of “learning” are run by the left and if you want to keep a job and want to be taken seriously, you toe the line.

The biggest danger in letting someone else think for you is that you can easily be duped. Just trot out a well paid and politically connected “expert” and they can get you to believe anything they want you to.

that’s exactly the goal of education and politics today. Keeping people from thinking for themselves.
 
People look to experts because they're not arrogant fuckwits that think they have the depth of knowledge, experience and context to contend with the views of people that do it for a living. Are you going to question the views of neurosurgeons on matters involving your brain? Most people are smart enough to listen to their fucking mechanic. The magnitude of arrogance and ignorance it takes to wave off the views of the most qualified people on Earth is staggering.

I know.

It's much better to trust our feelings.

Because cult.

They're really not an expert until they get a coffee mug embossed with a network logo and a seat at the table of a major network.
Ask John Brennan ... He didn't know shit until he started working for NBC/MSNBC ... :thup:

It's the Republican way!

Say bub...

Why do you think it's advisable to wrap up all your hopes, dreams, ambitions, successes, beliefs, thoughts, and essentially very lives in one extremely flawed reality TV star w/a penchant for telling lies for no reason over everyone else in the world?

Because, this is LITERALLY what Trump supporters, are, and have been, doing.
 
It's the Republican way!

It's surprisingly difficult to get through to some plumber or electrician why their views on complex scientific matters are worth approximately dick compared to scientists that know more than anybody else in the world. These boobs wouldn't even comprehend what's being said in the research.

I know my mechanic knows cars but when he tells me I need to spend several hundred or several thousand dollars for something I do more research. The same way people get second and third opinions when one doc tells them something that may not make sense or seem right. Its called having a brain and using it lemming, something you lefties never seem to be capable of. If the stats backed up what the talking heads were saying we might believe them.

You don't actually know what you're talking about. I would pay money to watch you try to debate any scientist on their field of expertise. Be sure to have somebody recording so your embarrassment can go viral on Youtube. If you read a scientific study that didn't have a synopsis you would not be able to explain to me what's being said because you're not actually educated in the field.

Oh spare me, who is trying to debate anyone? If some "expert" wants to tell me first not to wear a mask then to wear one, I am going to look up several studies and articles and form my own opinion. When one says the leftyflu is the Black Plague I am going to look at all the actual statistics I can get my hands on....not media articles....and see for myself if they are lying or telling the truth. Pretty simple process....using your own brain to check out what you are being told. And in the case of the virus, the severity is much much lower than the propaganda states and that is easily verifiable.

The important thing that appears to be lost to you is that you don’t have to be an arrogant fuckwit. It shouldn’t be beyond the average person, to think for themselves.

The Neurosurgeons that I have worked with, and there have been several, all consult with the patient and the patient’s families as to what should be the best treatment, and often times the patient makes decisions that are different from what the doctor wants to do.

Do you ALWAYS listen to a mechanic? You shouldn’t, you will get ripped off quite a bit. Thanks for mentioning that, it makes my point.

Thinking for yourself, you should try it.

Do you need a synopsis on what I just said Brainiac?

Hmmm not sure you are educated enough to explain anything to Einstein Jr here.

Learn to read. I said nothing about feelings. I’m talking about thinking and not just parroting what someone else says.

I didn’t mention the fact that the left ONLY listens to the science that they like. It’s bad enough that they are too lazy to think for themselves but they also cherry pick what science they like.

I'm not going to put any more energy into explaining to you the depth of your ignorance compared to scientists in their own field of expertise. You were always going to find some way to rationalize your arrogant and ignorant behavior. I would laugh at you if I wasn't so disgusted that people like you actually manage to hinder science with your stupidity. Have a nice night you doorknob.

Especially when that science limits individual rights and helps them control the masses

Its called Worldmeters go visit it and divide the total deaths into the total cases and tell us what you get. Remember Killer Cuomo started us off at 8%. Hopefully that simple math function won't hinder science too much there Aristotle.

I wouldn’t try. Part of thinking is knowing when you are out of your league. That’s not the same thing as turning off my brain and allowing someone else to think.

If I hear a scientist says something that doesn’t make sense logically, I’ll research it. You people who have lazy minds won’t do that. You’ll simply believe whatever you are told. Odds are pretty good that I can find a scientist who would debate that other scientist. If I didn’t, THEN I would accept what the first one said.
