The reason people resist knowledge is precisely because there is so much of it now. When every possible piece of information is available to you simultaneously, even the simplest of decisions becomes paralyzing. So we filter out most of it to keep from going mad.

So we have no idea which expert to believe. This is especially true in the age of Covid.
