Dan is another brilliant young philosopher with a great deal to offer: this excellent essay gets right to the point "Powerful people often speak the truth; the powerless often speak nonsense; and very often nobody—neither the powerful nor the powerless—has a clue what is going on, which is why we need rigorous, trustworthy, truth-seeking epistemic institutions in the first place."
