It is very hard to know many things. When it is hard, we save time by "outsourcing" the work of figuring out the truth. Sometimes to friends, sometimes to media, sometimes to the tribe.

Friends, media, tribe: folks in the same boat as you, with access to the same things you have access to (no more or less), just as limited as you in assessing anything.

Rely on them sparingly.
