Or are these just gut feelings?
Many seem (to me) just replicating out of context content they read on main stream media, without the skill set and basic knowledge to reflect and doubt what they read. I know people who worry about crime and security while statistics show that we become more and more secure. Helicopter parents worry about child safety while it has never been better.
No one says, I admit I have little idea, but I just feel that it is all wrong.
Are facts irrelevant? Do we trust experts?
