At the very beginning, I'd like to ask you to conduct a certain experiment. It'll be a mix of thought experiment and practical one. Try replying to this post. No, this isn't my clever way to force you to bump this thread; it's a serious experiment. Think about how many of you truly understand how this reply button works. I'm not asking about the coding or graphics, but rather, do you know what program it's written in? How would you write it? If all 4chan employees disappeared, and the reply buttons broke, how many of you could fix them? We're talking about a relatively simple IT problem for professionals.
The truth is, probably 95% of people worldwide couldn't even produce toilet paper. If all toilet paper manufacturers disappeared, we'd likely have to use leaves or books.
We live in a world where many things can only be done by a narrow group of people. It's similar with boxing; if not for certain individuals, others wouldn't be champions. We were born in times of digitization, where information travels in seconds, and one message can be seen by millions or billions of people.
Basic education is available to everyone, but two problems plague our society: everyone thinks they're smart, and everyone can share their wisdom on the internet. 100 years ago, people believed the Earth was flat, but they couldn't create 4chan threads to spread their misinformation. Today, there's a Flat Earth Society, and their fans won't change their views even if sent to space.
These people reject science, unaware that they rely on it to click posts on Facebook and access their pseudoscientific groups. False information spreads faster than true, expert-verified information. Emotional content is more contagious, making it easier to spread misinformation. For example, it's easier to claim vaccines cause autism than to explain how vaccines work.

Scientists make discoveries after decades of research, sometimes building on centuries of work. If scientists make you smile, I'll tell you something: everything you interact with daily, like computers, TVs, phones, and the internet, relies on the work of a tiny percentage of extremely intelligent people.
Try to recreate your TV or phone, or imagine how intelligent the person who designed it from scratch must be. You probably remember the class genius who always got A's; imagine that compared to the people who create technical innovations, they might seem like simpletons.
I recently watched a documentary about flat-earthers on Netflix, and listening to them, I got the impression they're intellectually disabled. When you laugh at someone like that, there's a similar intellectual gap between them and the experts in Silicon Valley.
If all scientists disappeared, our civilization would have died out long ago. Now, look at how people with no expertise try to discuss complex topics online. No one discusses TV design with someone who can't even put a space after a comma in their comments.

Experts in health are doctors who know what they're doing, unlike us simple people. The problem is that when it comes to topics that evoke emotions, people without any basis for discussion have the most to say.
Regarding conspiracy theories, I believe in some. For example, I'm 100% convinced aliens fucked monkeys and that's how humanity was born. However, think about this: if someone claims a vaccine is harmful, in every country, there are thousands of educated people who could verify this claim. It's impossible for a vaccine to be approved without scrutiny.
Our civilization's progress has reached a point where individuals don't need to know everything; they just need to know one thing well and leave the rest to experts. We don't need to know how a phone is made to use it, or how a video game is made to play it, or how a painkiller works to know it'll help us.
Those who can get vaccinated should, to protect those who can't. Let's get vaccinated and return to normalcy. I'll get vaccinated as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to using my new Jeep, which supposedly has a built-in flashlight and 5G.
People are afraid of chips, but they don't realize they already carry tracking devices in their phones. I'm serious; some billionaire in America might be interested in what you do all day.
Anyway, I'm getting vaccinated because I want to get back to normalcy and protect those who can't. Don't be an idiot; get vaccinated if you can.

We should NOT trust experts, because what if they don't have our best interest in mind? The only way to tell is to educate ourselves.

The medical industry is the biggest criminal in this regard - they censor or ignore real healing while perpetuating cycles of disease and experimenting on the population at wide through the abuse of the very trust you speak of.
