And the benefits can be personal. For example, I'm into week three of my first Covid-19 case. Its mild, but that didn't stop my primary from prescribing Paxlovid over the phone. Since I'm fairly well informed on the issues, I did some quick googling and by no means did I fit the "high risk" profile, not to mention the EUA and unproven nature of this medication. I never picked up the Rx from the pharmacy. In the old days the shepherds seemed to take better care of the flock. Alas, in the present time it is probably better, from the sheep's point of view, to keep one's own counsel. The "shepherd" may still try and lead you to the slaughterhouse, but at least you don't have to voluntarily follow the herd.
Challenging a paradigm results in a fight or flight response that manifests as defending it at any or all costs-fight, or a paradigm shift-flight. so many biases, so little time.
Jim, I'm not the avid book reader I used to be, but I can suggest one of revelation to you for the search of the mysterious ways of all humanity.
