  1. I don't trust a marketplace for ideas. People are easily sold on things that are horrible for them, that can actively harm them, by slick salespeople. If the world wasn't populated by so many suckers (P.T. Barnum quote here), I might be more inclined to trust "the marketplace of ideas." Problem is, in this so-called marketplace, people buy anti-vax nonsense, cult-like religions, pseudoscience, get-rich-quick schemes FAR more than they do provable science, functional policy, or wholesome ideology. When Caveat Emptor becomes the defining philosophy for exchanging ideas, you're in a sorry place indeed.
