"The crisis of expert authority has many causes. But one of them is experts mortgaging their own credibility. When magazines like Scientific American are run by ideologues like Helmuth, producing biased dreck as a result, it only makes it more difficult to defend the institution of science itself from relentless attack. This lack of trust absolutely contributes to the sorts of dunderheaded, reactionary populism presently threatening America and much of Europe.

If experts aren't to be trusted, charlatans and cranks will step into the vacuum. To mangle a line from Archer, "Do you want a world where RFK Jr. is the head of HHS? That's how you get a world where RFK Jr. is appointed head of HHS."

Who is that faggot?
"Singal is one of three sons born to Sydney L. (née Altman; 1949–2021) and Bruce A. Singal.[3] Both of his parents were attorneys. He received a master's degree in public affairs from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.[1] He is of Jewish descent[4] and lives in Brooklyn.[5]"

We don't hate them enough.
