A healthy scepticism for gov and media seems good to me but inverting what they’re saying seems less than sound. At that point what’s left as a sound basis? Fringe blogs? Facebook lunatics?

Do your own research isn’t viable either given that I can’t be an expert in everything. Especially with the rise of misinformation. At some point you’ve got to trust something

Steak and eggs from the farm seems quite reasonable to me. ;)

“Do your own research” would be ok if people actually did research. Or at the very least, if they were just reading other research they’d look at primary sources and considering how innumerate most people are, made the effort to learn statistics before.

“Do your own research” is absolutely ridiculous when what it means is diving deeper into the rabbit holes presented by the YouTube or TikTok algorithms.
