Yet, on other topics, people have “trust science” drilled into them, and are made to feel like heretics when they’re skeptical. They can’t win.

One should trust science, just dont trust scientists.

I was "around" science for a good chunk of my life (both mom and that used to be academics, and I spent 8 years in academia myself doing a phd and postdoc).

The amount of crap studies, politics and bullshit that happens in those circles will make you realise how sad the state of the "advancement of science" is. And my experience was in 3 very different countries. We desperately need something like AI to be able to synthesize and filter scientific publications
