just wait and see

Long ago communities developed in isolation and if you needed advise you were forced to your local expert. This expert would be knowledgeable in his area of expertise relative to the locals, but the absolute knowledge known to him could be greatly lower than the expert in the next town over. You might be born in a town with the most knowledgeable person in the world, but it’s unlikely.

These days we have 2 awesome things, the first is the internet where all these local communities are connected. The second is a homogenous culture where people in far off lands can understand what one means relatively easily.

It means that if you want to read a book on a subject, you have the ability to read a book written by the best author in the world. Not simply the closest one.

This is such a gift, can you imagine if you needed to learn something but the most accessible source was incorrect and teaching everything wrong?

At least now you can be assured that the stuff written by a world renowned expert is thoroughly thoroughly for validity.

So take the words spoken by experts and use it as starting point. You get a rock solid foundation. But you have to start with the experts and work from there.
