Populists make fewer mistakes than the experts and they're also more accountable. Not perfect, no, and full of all the faults of humankind, including stubborn foolishness. But they flinch, thankfully, from the carefully planned atrocities in which the experts like to wallow.

Yes, common criticism/critique of populism is rather detached from the reality of populism. Actual populists probably exhibit less do-something bias than PMC with their Greenspanesque fine-tuning fallacy.

docs still have no idea what goes on in your body. They know nothing about food. We need some Chinese doctors! real ones, who knows about chi and can practice the real accupuncture. Not the American or Canadian trained ones.

I think it was Tolstoj who stated, that if the doctor's office is full, the pastor is not doing his job. Another unknown saying - 70 % of doctor's patients don't belong there, they need a pastor (preferably not a pedophile)

there is a tube film on Chinese doctors and then you realize how far western doctors have gone off the track

Big government kept telling me to 'just say no', so I took their advice and refused their drugs, despite the best efforts of the pushers.
