Memento Mori

The rubber has to meet the road at some point. I embarked on quite a few projects intending to prove this or that based on my own biases, but the evidence says what it says, and only a few experts are big and protected enough to get away with publishing bullshit. Generally, biases motivate questions more than answers, because bad or wrong answers make experts vulnerable to other experts poking holes in their work - something which also gives the latter nice boosts in publicity, institutional prestige, etc. People don't want to expose themselves like that by making shit up. Non-academics - that's the sort of experts we're talking about here, right - don't get how cutthroat academics are to each other. It's not a drum circle. Going after people in our field we think are wrong (especially if we think they're corrupt or lying) is like merging onto the publicity highway. We'd love to step over the corpse of some fraud's career on the way to taking their jobs and grant money. Most of the time we're picking fights over stakes that'd be incomprehensibly obscure and trivial to lay people, though, which is less fun. TLDR: All this is to say that if lots of scientists disagree with Doutzen, it's only after years or decades of strenuous and sometimes bitter disagreement with each other. But I guess she's read a few websites.

The cool thing about science is that it doesn't matter how "stupid" any given scientist is. They have to submit their work for peer review, and then it has to get replicated by other scientists; some of whom may also be stupid, but not all of them. Cranks and incompetents tend not to last too long in the mainstream of their fields - as much out of embarrassment from being proven wrong all the time as anything else. I suppose you can place all your hopes in iconoclasts, imagining that one day they'll be vindicated. Good luck with your subsequent confirmation bias though. As far as "finding the truth on your own" goes, one's success in that varies wildly based on training and experience. Education isn't intelligence, wisdom, or necessarily knowledge. What it is, is training: development of tools for evaluating evidence. As a trained historian, I'm really good at spotting when those "I Love History" listicle sites are full of shit, because that's what I have the tools for. But I can also Google routine symptoms on WebMD and convince myself I have lupus. Most people, including myself, are like the latter about most things; there's no good reason to believe Doutzen is exempt from this fate.

Lol I've gotta stop checking this thread.

He had an uh, let's call it interesting, level of psychology going on what with being extremely prolific in sharing pictures of a woman he seemed to personally despise.

I'd be worried about committing to anyone with a track record of scams in general.
