My sense of 'being able to navigate the world accurately' has been less 'learning facts about the world', like I predicted, and more 'learning how to accurately gauge the trustworthiness of experts.'

Expertise is very often a fuzzy veneer of authority that we bestow on a few select people for being able to pass the right tests. And being able to pass tests is good, but we still need to be informed and discerning in how we choose to give out our trust.

Can you give an example of such a field? Medicine came to mind, bc it’s driven by historical precedent and is very standardized (in academia), but also needs to include changing paradigms to still be valuable, but I’m having trouble identifying a field where this isn’t the case
