>>12670364I might have phrased it weirdly. What I meant is the mechanism of information is the same on both sides, mindless science believers and mindless christians, or whatever other comparable ideology exists. Experts serve to say why something is important, but they can always be wrong. The Nazis modeled their disgusting eugenics as science, and so did most other states in earlier times. The science communicator people are the ones who create more idiots, yet they boast about being morally correct. Furthermore, the advances of for example, Koch and Pastuer, were of great relevance to the majority of the population, they understood, in practice, that their lives would be improved because of hygiene etc. But the same can not be said about viral diseases. One is bound to question something when you are forced to do it or pay a fine for over half a year, there is a difference between authoritative action, which people such as science communicators and Bill Gates support, and educating people from the get go. Encouraging them to think critically, keeping kids away from social media and phones etc. But also teaching scientific understanding, then assigning those children to further investigate why something is true, and ask questions. The model of the system is what fosters misinformation, not people simply "not getting the science"
EVERYONE WHO SAYS SOMEONE IS AN IDIOT FOR QUESTIONING A GOVERNMENT FORCING YOU TO STAY INSIDE AND WEAR MASKS FOR ALMOST A YEAR IS AN IDIOT THEMSELVES.
Again, masks work, but there are papers that explain why, and people should be educated into understanding how to read papers and question information. At least the majority of the population that live in the cities, where viral diseases are spread most, because they were the same people who in January and February ignored it, then in April scrutanized people for not staying inside "Look at this Karen lol" "Save lives" etc.
Snowden actually addressed this in his JRE, when it came to the
