"Government action is guided in part by public opinion. Public opinion is
guided in part by perceptions of what experts think. But public opinion
may — and often does — deviate from expert opinion, not simply, it
seems, because the public refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of
experts, but also because the public may not be able to tell where the
majority of expert opinion lies."

Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
