"fact-checkers were authoritative source of the truth"
There is no such thing. If your understanding of truth is so flat, you're incredibly ignorant and dangerously foolish. Biases, perception, and propaganda influence the "truth" you see in the world. And no one is immune to it. Even large groups of very smart people are not immune to it. In fact they're even more often prone to groupthink.

- mbivert 2y agoStumbled upon this yesterday or so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZlbQqXBsn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZlbQqXBsn0 « I think one of the troubles of the world has been the habit of dogmatically believing something or other and I think all these matters are full of doubt and the rational man will not be too sure that he's right; I think we ought always to entertain our opinions to some measure of doubt » (Russel)
- jimbokun 2y agoYou can’t possibly seriously believe this? The whole point of science is to eliminate human authority as a source of truth. Every claim must be peer reviewed, should be replicated by independent parties, and open to falsification by new evidence. “Appeal to authority” is always the wrong approach if you are seeking truth.
