1419 Untrustworthy Experts

sociology, politics & humor
An important part of liberalism, as it was developed in the eighteenth century, was the scientific method, a way to dispassionately determine “truth” that specifically barred faith from the evaluation. Science successfully propelled progress & enlightenment, creating the future we live in today. Unfortunately, like all established institutions, science too has been compromised & corrupted to serve the political goals of the elites. Academics now must parrot the accepted narrative to be published, to get a teaching position, tenure, awards, appointments, and most importantly, government grants. Instead of thorough experimentation, science is now a matter of concocted consensus; for example, fallacious claims that 97% of scientists believe in climate change. COVID was another glaring example; there were many skeptical doctors but they were ignored because they wouldn’t go along. Contrarily, in science a theory must be 100% true or it remains a hypothesis. Continuing the list: the biased mainstream media often quotes anonymous experts to support their phony positions, censoring dissenting voices; and there’s an endless stream of lying by the so-called intelligence community; for example, to undermine President Trump’s reelection. After all the lies, nobody trusts experts anymore, not even when they’re right.
