- voz_ 3y agoThe HN way.
- keithalewis 3y agoThe Dunning and Krueger approved way.
- davisoneee 3y agoI actually find it a helpful reminder. "People spout shit. Don't just blindly trust it". Otherwise, you end up chasing things, thinking they help, when there is little evidence backing it up other than someone's opinion.
- simmerup 3y agoBut very true regardless. Reading HN for health advice is like talking to your barber about stock options. A way to spend time but not to get information to work off of
- arkey 3y agoPersonally I really reject the notion that an area of knowledge is strictly reserved only to those who are "officially", if you will, acknowledged as experts. On the one hand, there are many, many studies and bodies of research and so on once accepted that later have been proven wrong and even deceitful in purpose, so there go your "experts". And in the other hand there are countless examples of people sharing knowledge on topics they are "not experts" in. These are maybe more difficult to document, for obvious reasons, but at least at a personal level I've had enough of them to become keen on listening to personal anecdotes and "the wisdom of the village elders" if you get my meaning.
