MODERATORS
There is no inherent arbiter of good or truth.
If the trust in expertise is tarnished, reshaping reality is left to the uninformed.
You can trust the uninformed to express their own will truthfully at least. (Unless they're convinced to side with an authority). There's a reliable truth there. I guess that's the rock of democracy.
