I agree, and I think all proposed plans should absolutely be considered against that threat. I certainly hope that's not a radical take on my part....
Is that what we're seeing? Which institutions and experts do you think are failing us?
Could it actually be the case that institutions and experts are 99% accurate in their output, but the information ecosystem around us is highlighting the 1% of inaccuracies and presenting them as fatal flaws (while ignoring the fact that the alternatives to these institutions and experts have less than 50% accuracy)?
