[QUOTE="The Firebird, post: 9703321, member: 7015803"] I know. My point is that the regulatory structure so established enabled whomever that may be to control LLMS in a way they otherwise wouldn't. I guess we are working with different definitions of condescending. I don't see how "my dim view of laymen evaluating much beyond the most basic medical information" can be read otherwise. Something being true doesn't stop it from being condescending. Especially not from feeling condescending towards the person lacking the knowledge. My avoidance of COVID was from a desire to avoid politics. I do think it is a great example. I took different lessons from it. I think the collapse in scientific, especially NIH, funding is not unrelated to the response here. It is tempting to blame that all on hostile media and a foolish populace. In my reading, too tempting. I'm really skeptical of any interpretation that sees the collapse in trust of the medical and scientific establishment and says "yeah, that's the best we could have done". [/QUOTE]
