So how do i, a regular person without a neuroscience or sleep background, know who to trust? The about page on this page doesn't lead me to believe that this is another expert in the field. Maybe Guzey got it wrong, maybe they're both wrong? Why should I take this page at face value?
I guess this leads to a bigger philosophical leaning question, how do I pick out good information when I don't know the field. This has been a struggle for me, I have a recent interest in neuroscience and how it relates to consciousness. This topic seems to have a wide variety of science based, philosophy based and some real out there stuff but it gets pitches as reliable. I really don't know how to pick good books to read. I don't know how to filter out the equivalent of like being antivax in a field i dont know about.
To try to answer my own questions, I guess in some way, you can't ever know the truth? But relying on one book, blog, article, view point to base your understanding will definitely lead to being uniformed unless you are lucky enough to stumble on a god source the first time.
