that have taken over much of the right. Fascism always involves massive corruption and cannot come to power without massive deception.

But much of that deception involves teaching everyone to regard experts with deep suspicion and distrust. Better to stay away from them altogether lest they warp your thinking.

And remember, there can be no such thing as what we think of as "common sense" without truthful information to apply it to. Without, it's just guesses and imaginings, usually wishful at that.
