  • This is why there is such a trend in misinformation these days, a breakdown of distrust in institutions. I get why there is that distrust… institutional issues are easy to find in all fields, however that doesn’t stop them from being correct on the whole.

    Look at Covid denialism, denying the results of the last election… the loss of peoples ability to believe experts in their fields. Unless people here are actual doctors no one here has the expertise to give a diagnosis. Everyone has become an expert these days and does their own research, reality doesn’t care about your intuitions on this though.

    Saying this, you might be right you could be autistic based on your own feelings/observations. That still doesn’t make it a diagnosis.

    I saved a pic of an article I was reading, this is a good example of being an expert and being someone that has interest in a subject but not having the training and knowledge to fully understand it, I read this a bunch of times and still don’t actually understand it as I’m sure most people here won’t either.

    There is nothing wrong with being sceptical of experts as they can be wrong and wanting second opinions on things however that doesn’t make you an expert because you can google things.
