"A large audience of people were taken in by the CDC, the New York Times -- by all of the official outlets that were supposed to be doing the work of curating the information, seeking new data -- all of the things that were supposed to work to tell you what to think about Covid -- the failure of that thing resulted in a lot of people whose worst error was just simply to trust that the experts probably knew what the hell they were talking about.
Right? Those people got burned. Now, some of them got injured. Right? And some of them just got humiliated and hopefully they haven't been injured. But the point is you've got a large audience of people who got suckered by something and are now trying to figure out how to go back to living a normal life. And you've got a whole bunch of people who screwed up that don't want to be displaced over the fact that it is now evident that they do not know what they are doing. And those two things are now searching for a narrative in the middle. And that narrative in the middle is kind of a negotiation. Right?
The powerful people don't really want to be vindicated. They can't be. They got it wrong. What they want is to be slapped on the wrist in a way that does not threaten their position of power.
And the people who got suckered would like to be relieved of that sense of: 'Oh, there are no experts? That's a problem. How am I to live? Am I just going to wake up panicked every morning?' Right? They would like to be relieved of that. They would like not to feel so much like suckers. They would like to have somebody put into words the mechanism by which they followed what should have been true and reliable instincts and ended up in danger. Right?
And so my claim is that there is now a struggle happening..." --Bret Weinstein
