The religious authorities who are the most aggressive at claiming authority are among the most bogus con artists of all. But real authority exists on some things some times.

yeh I agree, I respect fair and honest authority but I just recognise that in order to discern who's honest and who's not you need freedom (of lots of things, speech and thought being the most important)

Free speech seems like peanut butter sandwiches these days. Healthy for some of us. Severe allergic reaction for almost as many others: vaxines change your dna, stop the steal, masks will kill us, where we go one we go all... Critical thinking needs to happen more. Trusting authority is dangerous. Distrusting authority is dangerous. Authority used to tell us to be racist. Now authority tells us not to be homophobic.
