This is why you won’t find political parties and parliamentary elections among hunter gatherers.

    Because after reading their opinion piece you can decide whether you like the cut of their jib? Weird criticism. Every pundit starts somewhere.

    Is it so weird, really, to worry about this new world where authority counts for nothing, where journalistic ethics have gone out the window, where everyone just finds their own personal pundit who expresses their prejudices better than they can themself? This is going to end badly.

    People having opinions and not defaulting to "authority" based logic arguments is the downfall of society big think

    This is a bit mangled but I guess you're saying, "I don't just believe authority, I'm an independent thinker". But where did you get your opinions from? Did you do the research yourself - including the hard science that you (or I) know almost nothing about in detail? Of course you didn't. Ultimately you just believed someone. The point of "authority" is it means we're not just believing anyone.
