No I dont. Just like with bitcoin miners, the consensus is the truth. Unless the consensus changes, the truth remains.
You are mistaking trust with belief.
I don't see how trust and belief does not go hand in hand.
Blockchain consensus is based on indisputable math, which is hard logic. Human events on the other hand are subject to irrationality and emotions with consensus being just one source of evidence also highly vulnerable to fallibility. Slavery was once considered ok by consensus doesn't mean that its true.
Scientific logic is based on false, unless proven otherwise.
Ok, lets say I believe in scientific consensus.
Isnt that, generally speaking, much better than believing in minoritys opinion?
Their main claim "Jets fluel...." is pure bullshit on par with "Climate change is a myth."
"Slavery was once considered ok" - are you sure it was the scientific consensus or just general population?
Ok, I must accept the possibility it was a conspiracy.
None of us has enough information to be sure, so we should wrap it and say whoever did it, was a sick motherfucker.
.... and all governments should stop existing :D
Scientific "consensus" is not always better than the minority position. Consider geocentric vs heliocentric universe theories. What you believe to be "the truth" is then only dependent on the majority, which is then dependent on the time you started considering the debate.
Consensus does not always equal truth, sometimes the majority is wrong but the truth does not change. So I just think your wording is wrong. You could say "the consensus is what I trust; unless the consesus changes, my outlook remains the same." But the truth doesn't change with however many people agree on it or not...

Do you accept the mainsteam narrative might be true?
Yeah, but I doubt it. I have no reason to believe a narrative backed by the State who has a record of hiding and manipulating facts.
na a. I didnt ask if you believe or not, I know that. I asked if you accept the possibility the mainstream is right.
Sure, anything is possible.
Ok, I must accept the possibility it was a conspiracy.
