I know everyone thinks this is about cats, but its actually about trusting 'experts'. I pretty much assume that there is a high chance someone is telling me absolute bullshit whenever I'm buying a service where the seller knows more than I do and I'm unable to confirm things on my own.
It's not even because they necessarily lie (although that happens too). It's because people are just that fucking stupid, and the various human proclivities to not question themselves, to only ask questions that affirm their beliefs, etcetera.
Aside from the more minor day to day idiocies like contractors, etc, I've been given nearly lawsuit worthy bad advice from more than one doctor, lawyers, specialists. And then there's mechanics and tradespeople , less so because its a little more accessible knowledge to me.
I wish people who are this bad at their job would be naturally selected because it brings everyone down.
When we're all speaking chinese one day we'll be thinking, why didn't we put the fucktards up against the wall and thin the herd for its own health??
