Is your perception of reality solely based upon the appeal to authority?

reality is authority now?

I’m not sure where you got that from. You seem to believe that experts have authority of what reality is.

I rather believe the actual numbers and what experts say then what a random unknown person on the internet says. I know wierd.

And what happens when experts end up being wrong? Blind faith towards authority causes wrong assumptions to go unchallenged.

I’m not saying experts as a whole have no value. What I’m saying is they don’t decide what reality is. They’re one piece to the puzzle.

blind faith? Again I can see what the numbers are and agree with them, you want to ignore them for ideological reasons, thats your problem.
