The irony of “trust the experts” is this: when most people trust experts, experts become a desirable target for capture — Pfizer knows it only has to capture a few people and the herd will follow. As a result, experts because compromised, i.e., very UNtrustworthy.
Consequently, people lose trust in them, and they lose status. Now few people trust experts, and gradually they become undesirable targets for capture, since they no longer command much influence.
Uncaptured experts will think for themselves and start to predict and make sense of things more accurately. Eventually people notice, start to trust them again. When that happens, the powerful factions that want to achieve their agendas will target and compromise them again.
Rinse and repeat.
