I was pondering the huge amount of medical advice available on this site and it has led me to question the people I rely on to keep me healthy.
In effect, should I ditch the direction of Dr Gupta and ask the lady who works on reception what she thinks ?
That is the basis of it really.
Should we rely on people who have studied the subject or people who have picked up a bit of the lingo ?
Of course there are exceptions. A lawyer will argue black is white if you pay him enough. And economists will put forward any crazy notion if it gets him published.
But this is the point. Not all opinions are valid. Opinions backed by facts are more valid than opinions that are pulled out of someones arse.
Many prople on this site seem to have lost sight of that. It seems that nobody is allowd to die these days wiyjout some ghoul bringing up their vax status.
Or lose an elecrion without some form of foul play at work.
But hell will freeze over before they admit to climate change.
And this is the wierd thing. The same people believe an all of the conspuracy theorie. They are anti vax , deny climate change and still think that trump won in 2020. There are conspiracy theories yet to be invented in Russian troll farms that they will embrace with vigour in a couple of years.
I think that at some point they have been damaged and need help of some sortt.
