Dr. Fauci, Expert Collusion & the Failure of Governance

We are ruled by psychopaths.

"You don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge" - George Carlin

Our main problem is not that we don’t know what’s right; our main problem is that we don’t have the will to do what’s right.

"We need a firewall between governance and profit." 💯%

Heather nailed it! Our public institutions are acting on behalf of private interests, NOT public interests.

The word 'expert' means nothing, it's more overused than 'racist' these days. and expert opinion is just that, an opinion.

Bret and Heather are possibly the most reasonable people I’ve ever heard.

Keep going. Do not let up on the criminals like Fauci

"Don't challenge me, I'm an expert."

Deepest gratitude to Brett and Heather🙏🏻 Love how Heather alooks at/attends to Brett when he speaks. (Love to see the courtesy reciprocated.)

Also look at the user fee structure at the FDA. The pharma companies are providing a sizable amount of the FDA’s budget through these user fees.

There's a grievous lack of integrity in today's market.

A must read "The Real Dr Anthony Fauci" by Robert Kennedy Jr.

“A firewall between governance and profit”

Heather rounded it off perfectly.

We knew all this would happen when campaign contributions from corporations got out of control. “Corporations are people too”. And the people who voted on that were put there by the corporations themselves. Pretty nifty trick, eh?

It is a spiritual battle, and its all by design.

I think the really deeper questions this didn't quite get into is how the public can at times reasonably intuit a ceiling for experts -- or a delimited scope for their expertise. Meaning, quite obviously, public health epidemiologists are not experts on the macroeconomic implications of lockdowns, which is far, far, far beyond their keen. Harder to evaluate for the public (but equally important) is when we're told that Doc Fauci represented consensus science on things like masking and social distancing when that fraud didn't. This is where science journalism failed us just as much as the journals and universities. The main critique of Bret's and Heather's otherwise laudable worldview here is that what we had was a mass panic / fear response that led to mob dynamics. It is very, very difficult if not impossible to pre-fit institutions to avoid this deep flaw of human nature. Which is why, on a deeper level, the center-right and conservative critique of their worldview gains especial traction here: It is better not to centralize power too much, given the vagaries of human nature.

One of the most brilliant minds of our time!

It apparently works under durress of unemployment & exclusions from society.
