I think this just reinforces that the marketplace of ideas is a bust... personally. Because again, people aren't looking to evaluate rationally.

- MrStonedOne 5y agoPeople are turned off by appeals to authority logical fallacies. Trying to make them the only acceptable source of information is never going to sell.
- Nursie 5y agoI'm afraid that people are also turned off by facts that go against their preconceived notions, and people are predisposed to accept, with little question, authorities with whom they already identify. In fact I'd go as far as saying your argument there is a logical fallacy, as I'm making no claim people should accept appeals to authority.
