    And it still bugs me that Chris is skeptical
    of self-interested alternative medicine types
    who advance health claims but completely
    unskeptical about self-interested doctors who
    are allowed to regulate themselves, limit
    competition, enforce supply constraints, etc.

    This type of reasoning is similar to that of
    lefties who trust politicians but not businesses
    (and of righties who do the reverse).

    Science and slavish worship of the establishment
    are not the same thing - establishment economics
    in the 1950s (or even the 1970s) looks pretty
    bad now. Establishment medicine from that time
    looks even worse.

    Morality by consensus is frequently morality by convenience.
