Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

You can spend 20 years studying the intricacies of a single discipline, get a doctorate and every accolade there is, but have built it all on an incorrect premise.

While someone else can be interested only in discovering the truth of the premise, and "know more" than you after a few youtube videos.

If you start on the wrong foundation and never reassess, all the study or degrees in the world won't save you from being wrong.

This is best applied to pseudo-sciences like Keynesian economics or gender studies. I maintain respect for advanced learning in STEM.

Horrifyingly STEM is decaying too, but luckily at a drastically slower rate and the feedback is much faster so I have hope that it will stay out of the worst of it.

But generally speaking yes, you are correct here.
