Most intellectuals have become accustomed to “trusting the teacher”. 
Its not been until recently that we are realizing that the schools, scientists and academia have long since been captured by special interests in the name of profit.

It’s becoming a trust issue since most people, including myself, cannot jump into a scientific paper and interpret whats blatantly wrong or misleading.

I think that bitcoiners can really get their head around this one. 

Don’t trust, verify.
