In light this piece and many others by gato on the failure of our so-called experts, I thought some here might be interested in my new book, The Treason of the Experts: Covid and the Credentialed Class, just published by Brownstone.

"Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatsoever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, required only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus."

~ Michael Crichton (1942-2008)
