What public figure said the following?

I don't know who said it.

Just from my background, trusting experts or, in general/by proxy, authority is just one of (at least) four ways we humans know about our world. The other three are empiricism, intuition, and I think the study of texts (I forgot the proper term for what I mean😅).

I don't agree with the statement, with how it attempts to make a distinction between science, democracy and totalitarianism and religion via trust of experts. 'Trust of experts' is involved in so many things knowledge-related or how we know what we know. This includes science. Democracy and totalitarianism to a degree. Definitely religion.

No, I don't agree. Scientists are the experts in the field of science and scholars are the experts on democracy. Of course you could study as much as they did and do, instead, but that's unlikely.

Partially, because many fields have a degree of subjectivity, such as law and yes, even science. It's best to read and listen but come to your own conclusions.

I'm assuming it's RFK Jr because it sounds super anti-vax.
