Or, similarly: What if someone who isn't even an American amplifies their opinions on what direction America should take its public health policy in? But I am strongly in the camp that it doesn't matter. I welcome your opinion, and want to read it. No discussions are perfectly logical; that's not a relevant component in the application of critical thinking to look past who is speaking, and at what they are speaking about. A gag is a poor replacement for Reason, and more-over only serves to strengthen the bubbles we build for ourselves in both our offline and online lives. I would agree that credentialism is valuable; but that is very, very different from "once said something on the internet that I disagreed with."
