Ivermectin - Should You Trust the Experts?

Ellie Ezigudkowski: I worry Scott Aronson thinks I'm saying you shouldn't trust the experts, and instead you should always think for yourself. What I do think is that trust the experts is an extremely exploitable heuristic which leads everyone to put up a veneer of being the experts and demand that you trust them. The New York Times ran an article saying that only 36% of economists supported school vouchers, with a strong implication that the profession was majority against. If you're too quick to seek epistemic closure because you have to trust theExperts, you'll be easy prey to people misrepresenting what they are saying.
