This could be praised because it allows people to think for themselves and decide without relying on experts. Still, more often than not, it carries a severe risk.

However, it also has the disadvantage that it can cause people to reject valid information and make poor decisions (most of the time).

I have seen many people arrive at the emergency room with ailments of 10 days of evolution that end in a massive heart attack. Because the patient believed he could dominate the pain with his mind, among many examples.

The world is slowly becoming a pigsty of flat earthers and climate change deniers, which is creepy.
