“One of the most dangerous ideas that ahs come about in the last 3 years is that all points of view are equally valid, and that average citizens (you) are just as equipped to judge which have merit as anyone else.
“Hear all sides, and judge for yourself!” No. I do not condone the death of Expertise, and neither should you.
I am an expert in very, very few things. But in those areas, my expertise is hard earned through study, work, experience and aptitude. None of it comes from attending Google University. But unless you are an expert in exactly the same areas, your opinion is not just as valid as mine. It’s not.

“Then there's this: "... "... Rather than blame individual scientists, he said the fault lies in a system that encourages volume over quality: “There are journals, which I’d consider predatory journals, that make researchers pay money to publish their papers there, with only symbolic peer review, and then the journals play games by making the authors cite articles from the same journal.”
"Funk’s predatory-journal story reminded me of the dark side of Moneyball: When any industry focuses too much on one metric, it can render the metric meaningless and warp the broader purpose of the industry. Just as we are living in a platinum age of television—more quantity but perhaps not more quality—we seem to be in a platinum age of science, in which the best you can say about the industry is that there certainly seems to be more of everything, including crap." “

Over the past half a century, half the world’s microbes have disappeared, while diseases such as asthma, allergies, obesity + diabetes are increasing. Are these connected?

“Most people think germs (aka microbes) are bad for us. But what if they’re mostly good ,and wiping out the ones inside us is creating a health crisis that threatens humanity’s future?
Could overuse of antibiotics have triggered the rise in obesity, asthma, autism, severe food allergies, and diabetes?”
