Conversations in our country are often sidelined when people label one side as a “grifter” or spreader of “conspiracy theories.” Philosophers reached enlightenment by continually questioning reality and asking questions to further understanding. On social media and in mainstream media, the statements to trust the news, and trust the science, lead us to expert culture. This is an attempt by weak minds to resist leaving their area of comfort and settle for the mediocrity of knowledge.
