“Trusting the experts is not science”

After WWII the USA put “in God we trust” on our money. We added “under God” to the pledge. Why? Because we suddenly had a national turn to God? No way.

We realized that the USSR and NAZI Germany were based on trust in the experts. Germany especially was focused on trust in the scientific experts.

We added “under God” because we needed to constantly be reminded that man is not only fallible...but evil also and twists science for the agenda du jour.

In his own way RFK is repeating what we agreed post WWII.
Short of God, we trust nobody. Reagan said “Trust but Verify”.

We accept some of what “experts” advise...but always with a wary eye.

Nice, spintreebob.

Too much TRUST in big pharma and big food producers, but very little VERIFY.

Interesting story here how Texas got a voluntary agreement from Kelloggs to phase out some toxic dyes by 2027.

Well, except for the Jewish ones. Just imagine if all the physicists who fled the Nazis had stayed for a militarily aggressive but not anti-Semitic Germany in WW 2. Would Moscow or London had been the victim of the first atomic bomb.
