> The trick is to get good at identifying the people that are correct and ignoring the people that don't know what they are saying.

You need expertise yourself in order to do that. Otherwise you are easily misled.

> The problem with people who are recognized as experts is that they have a high likelihood of wanting status and power. So while they may be experienced and smart their intentions may not be pure.

Where do you get any information then? How do you get through your day?

People can have various motives and still provide accurate information. The motives don't completely dominate them, they have other motives, and we can read critically.

But if they lack expertise, they can't provide accurate information.
