Your second comment seems like almost an illustration of the attitude you (seem to) decry in your first.

These days I prefer trusting my senses and actual experience to taking random authorities perspectives for granted. I wasn't always like this, once upon a time I believed anything that came from so called "respected members" of this society; but over time I got burned so many times that I just can't be bothered any more. Tell me about personal experience, something you reflected on yourself; and I'll listen.
