RE: The value of being Intellectually Modest in public policy: taking account of our ignorance

Let me disagree with your statement.
Richard Eberhart said: “Do not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not fear friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.”
One has only to recall how many people have died, and still die in the wars driven by religions.
How many people are doing something, just because so was said on TV, does not even double-checking the information.
It's the endless list...
