Experts Will Always Be With Us

This is endemic to the human condition, always. Someone interjects themselves between you and your goal to their own advantage.You're too stupid to worship God by yourself. You need a priestly class to be an intermediary to do it for you while you grub in the dirt to support them. Likewise with the FDA. You're too stupid to know if this works. Only rigorous statistical analysis can do that for you. But you don't understand that. We do. So just pay us your taxes and we'll say if you can have it. To Ming's peasant mind, some people apparently live longer if they take Provenge. It doesn't appear to hurt anyone who takes it. So give it to people who want it. If that sort of reasoning became commonplace, experts might have to find useful employ.
