Newsweek asked RFK Jr. recently on why he would not stop promoting conspiracy theories, and this was his reply:
My father told me when I was a little boy that people in authority lie and the job in a democracy is to remain skeptical. I’ve been science-based since I was a kid. Show me the evidence and I’ll believe you, but I’m not going to take the word of official narratives.
The way you do research is not by asking authoritative figures what they think. Trusting experts is not a feature of science, and it’s not a feature of democracy. It’s a feature of religion and totalitarianism.
Quite a breath of fresh air, especially in light of the various people screeching about “trusting the experts” during Covid.
