You Must Not ‘Do Your Own Research’ When It Comes To Science

“Research both sides and make up your own mind.” It’s simple, straightforward, common sense advice. And when it comes to issues like vaccinations, climate change, and the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, it can be dangerous, destructive, and even deadly. The techniques that most of us use to navigate most of our decisions in life — gathering information, evaluating it based on what we know, and choosing a course of action — can lead to spectacular failures when it comes to a scientific matter.

The reason is simple: most of us, even those of us who are scientists ourselves, lack the relevant scientific expertise needed to adequately evaluate that research on our own. In our own fields, we are aware of the full suite of data, of how those puzzle pieces fit together, and what the frontiers of our knowledge is. When laypersons espouse opinions on those matters, it’s immediately clear to us where the gaps in their understanding are and where they’ve misled themselves in their reasoning. When they take up the arguments of a contrarian scientist, we recognize what they’re overlooking, misinterpreting, or omitting. Unless we start valuing the actual expertise that legitimate experts have spent lifetimes developing, “doing our own research” could lead to immeasurable, unnecessary suffering.

DYI:  The article bends over backwards attempting to prove that an educated and informed citizenry should not be attempted the populous will always arrive at the wrong answer.  Forbes magazine is geared towards white collar upper educated individuals I wonder how many will let their subscription lapse after being insulted to this degree??  This very well could be a "propaganda roll out" as the New York Times doubles down with a similar article.

Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole

Critical thinking, as we’re taught to do it, isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation.

DYI:  The attempt from these two articles – and assume additional propaganda pieces from other mass media outlets – is not to trust your own intelligence, logic and critical thinking skills therefore never make the attempt.  Why?   By applying those skills YOU WILL KNOW THE MASS MEDIA  IS LIEING!
