There’s a running joke online that goes something like this —

“Oh! I see we’ve all become experts in superconductors and firestorms now, after being experts in epidemiology and LLM models just a few weeks ago. Impressive!”

The underlying message is that each of us should just “stay in our lane” and only have opinions about our narrow areas of expertise.

The problem with this line of thinking is that many of the most credentialed and esteemed “experts” have utterly failed and betrayed the public trust in recent years, especially since COVID.

Thus, it makes sense to hold more credence in an anon sh*tposter whom you know to be authentic and honest based on his past behavior, than a PhD expert who has perverse fiat incentives pushing him to hold a particular view in order to keep his job, his salary, and his social standing.

In any case, it’s better not to trust anyone blindly, but rather, to verify the truth yourself. #Bitcoin
