Listen, think, but don't believe each jot and tittle of expert prediction.
Powerlineblog reminds me that "Prophecy is the most gratuitous form of human error."
The quote is from George Eliot. Experts and politicians selling us models of infection control have destroyed more than a trillion dollars of human capital and yet those models have never been tested properly.
Yogi Berra: "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."
Ronald Reagan: "Trust but verify".
Richard Feynman: "Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts".
