like if expertise were worth listening to uncritically then you wouldnt have to worry about them being wrong and hedging your bets because theyre 100% right and not just following a fad right

like the right thing to do if you live in the 1910s is to listen to all of the experts who are telling you actually eugenics is the best thing we could possibly do as a society

so like if im understanding the norm correctly the thing to do is be an outspoken eugenicist in the 1910s to Believe Experts and then just feel bad about yourself but not really after WWII, not really because you are continuing to Believe Experts and theyre just different now

Replying to @eigenrobot
My norms are tested thoroughly across history. Today’s experts are awful and can’t be trusted. Eugenics was and is a good idea and experts were right back then mostly by coincidence.
