You're also proud to admit you decide who experts are based on who agrees with you. I decide who experts are based on their reputation within the scientific community, so, eg, Nobel Prize winners, or members of the National Academy of Scientists or Royal Society of London, or even just people with PhD's on general matters within their field. You'd have us doubting all of these people when they disagree with you. It's also no wonder why you'd have us questioning experts, because you want us to believe you're one. What I want you to believe is that you can be one, just not the way you're trying, or not trying. Oh sure, it's a lot easier if you have parents who are very successful. It is also very difficult if your parents are full of wrong notions. Generally speaking though the American dream is true, you can reach the top from the bottom. Maybe you should believe it happened just as I said. The people who don't really understand religion or science started a sort of a "war" between them that left you "fighting" in it, depriving you of the higher truth in art and religion. I have no desire to be an expert on anything other than my profession (or, at least, enough of an expert to be successful) and my greatest passions, which happen to be the arts. For everything else I'm content being a dilettante who merely learns from experts and who has the humility not to question them in my lack of expertise. IE, I strive not to be a Dunning-Kruger victim like yourself. FYI, my parents had, and continue to have, many wrong ideas. Their wrong ideas, in many respects, have spurred me to know what I do happen to know.
