I brought up examples like you trusting the food you eat to not make you sick because your justification for that trust, if you were forced to put it into words, would similar to my justification for why I trust scientific data to be real, and not just random numbers pulled from the air: because our scientific system and its safeguards are pretty good most of the time, because most scientists and doctors are normal people who want to do the best job they can, and because in my own lived experience the system simply works as it’s supposed to. I’m sorry if you’re looking for some detailed explanation for why I think scientific literature as a whole is not bunk, but I’ll choose to end my engagement with you here. My sincerest wishes for the new year for you and your family.
