Sure, it doesn't mean they're infallible. But it very well could mean they are just brighter than I am, potentially by a long shot. > Especially in a society where the most accomplished are often simply the most ruthless This is a popular take at the moment, and probably somewhat true, but there really are people out there who are just better at things than I am. For whatever reason, they have demonstrated much greater capabilities than I have. And I feel like I should avoid writing off their opinions simply because they don't line up with what I think is popular consensus. Of course I shouldn't buy into some point of view just because someone influential thinks it. But I can hold space in my head for keeping track of what the various schools of thought are around a topic, and not picking a winner until I have to.
