i don't like trusting scientists in fact. trusting scientists is how we got into this mess. people let themselves be manipulated by scientific results. people need to think for themselves. yes, that includes not believing certain scientific results, but IMO it's better to deny a scientific result that I dislike and do not understand than trusting scientists that spent their entire lives researching that particular aspect of the universe

by the way i'm not a science denialist

Can't make that shit up.

Also, just to follow up on this, it's for the largest part not scientists that got us into this mess, whatever in particular that may be. The world would be much better off if people had more trust in science. That's too much to demand though it seems, especially from boomers. So here we are, with populists and companies messing stuff up and people like you blaming scientists for the results.
