I agree.
I’ve come to realize that the people that “wrote the book” on a particular subject aren’t necessarily experts, they’re just the person who happened to be motivated to write a book on the subject.
Learning about a subject or an event comes from hearing many voices, across a broad spectrum of perspectives and opinions.
Then you can form your own conclusions out of all the possible truths.
- jhoelzel 4y agoExactly this. In germany we had a couple of scandals where somebody became a bestseller author by buying his own books and gifting them to everybody he meets in bulk. So he basically paid for his sales himself and was of course also able to claim a tax benefit for it. Truth is not a democratic process and very hard to verify just by using data.
