How can I, someone entirely outside the domain, begin to filter what is credible and what is nonsense?
- without being a mechanic and understanding the intricacies of an engine, safety standards, how parts wear, how can I possibly purchase the correct car?
- without being a nutritionist, how can I possibly ensure I’m getting all the micronutrients I need, macros I need, with all the choices at a grocery store?
The outcome I see from this is industry specific governing bodies are necessary since the world is so complicated, or.. we need a service for micro-consulting where I can talk to an expert for 15 minutes. Like a doctors appointment but not insanely expensive and not comically inefficient. I would imagine a good amount of people would be cars that were $1,000 cheaper if it didn’t include a seatbelt.
This is the problem. There are experts in the field with PhDs and other decorations to their name that contradict each other pretty starkly.
When it comes to mass hysteria, it's imperative to seek out a known source of truth. I cannot find one, however.
