In fact, it’s quite possible, the more experience a person has (which is what makes them an ‘expert’), the more set in their ways they are. There are also different degrees of expertise. My preference is to view the evidence for myself, evaluate the quality of that evidence (statistics can be very deceptive, either by intent or accident) and decide for myself what the most appropriate course of action is.

Hotmale 1954 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm saddened and amazed at the number of people who look to the USA to find Covid, Political and other subject information so embraced by deniers and Right Wingers. If they looked closer to home, or towards Europe, then I think their outlook on life would change favourably over time. By that, I don't mean German Trumpsters, or Danish Trumpsters, I mean 99% (or is it more like 85%?) of people who believe what they see and hear from experts. If you avoid these American sites (and British Trumpsters) you'll find 99% (or is that 85%?) of people, don't believe in Alien Abductions, Elecection Fraud and Covid scepticism. The very few idiots have prolonged the Pandemic, backed up Trump, supported Johnson's horrendous leadership and are even now, lying to Northerners to get them to vote against their best interest. Money for Sheffield, Johnson? Shove it up your Anita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butlers Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If you have not seen the clip treat yourself it's only a couple of mins. Mr Shapiro choose his inquisitors a bit more to his liking the other day, some 8 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't force his views down people's throats. He's never professed to be an expert or an authority. People should have all the relevant information and make up their own minds. There seems to be an assumption that he, Joe Rogan, is in charge of the show. He must be a very good and professional broadcaster after all he is paid $100,000 per episode and the contract with Spotify is worth $100 million and has been in the entertainment business for years. The end product is dollars. Everything is done to create more dollars. Everything is about 'market share' and keeping the competitors at bay, so keeping the investors happy. It is entertainment-it is a show and they research their target audience and give them what they want -this show is designed to attract and keep a significant number of Conspiracy Theorists who are willing to pay for the huge paypackets, fees and production costs.

Have to admire his skill at the debate game though; lots of flaws in his rationale, but if you speak fast and shotgun your opponent with multiple points, and give them no time to consider and examine your assertions and reasoning for flaws, it looks like you ‘win’ the argument. Genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
