We need so much more than some combination of (1) trusting experts and (2) doing your own research.

The first is practically necessary but unsatisfying given well-known concerns about scientific replication, knowledge dissemination, and industry incentives.

The second isn't practical for most people.

I don't have detailed interventions to suggest right now, but it seems clear that we need better _systems_ that result in less dogmatic behavior among experts and legal systems.
