Interesting new essay that I mostly agree with, though not sure if astrophysics and medical science, for example, differ in kind or just in degree, in terms of the requirement for social practices to correct individual biases/blind spots.https://twitter.com/BostonReview/status/1388304669349457923 …

I like these ideas in principle, "let's see the science and discuss the trade-offs" but I'm just not making the leap to how an ordinary person is supposed to figure out which science to believe? (That's why I think the public health agencies are crucial: they alone can do this).

Honestly, build up the trusted gatekeepers seems a lot more workable to me than—the nicer sounding and personally more appealing—let's debate the science in real time (which we do! but that's because something is broken).
