My own.
It’s cliché but listening to my gut typically works out
Honestly, it depends on what we’re talking about
I trust my nerd friend’s opinions on computers, and I trust my car friend’s opinions on cars, but probably not so much the other way around.
No single person knows everything, and trusting any single person completely about everything is foolish.
That OP always has an agenda. Doesn’t matter which OP but there is always one.
My spouse’s.
No one’s. Not even mine. Everyone is an idiot. Especially me.
I don’t trust anyone’s opinion unless it’s based on sound evidence and repeatable results and even then, I’ll only trust the opinions of those who are willing to change their opinion based on new knowledge. So, given that, I’ll trust my young kids opinions on things they have researched and learnt about, or a doctor’s opinion if it’s on something they’re knowledgeable about, and my own in areas where I’m an expert.
How MUCH I trust them is a different thing. If it’s something that doesn’t really affect me if it’s not 100% accurate…meh
Mine. Unless my partner or best friend heavily disagree, then I know it’s probably not right.
Yours
Yep. Yours.
Obviously I don’t agree with anybody on 100% of all things, but if I had to throw out some of who I sarcastically call my personal philosopher kings:
- Cordelia Fine
- Philip N. Cohen
- Ella Yurman, YouTube
- Noam Chomsky
- Big Joel, YouTube
not my mom’s

Only 3 people i dont know whos opinions ive actually trusted.
Yahtzee but I think hes stopped doing his thing
Jonathan Pie - spoof news reporter who goes on rants at the cameraman between takes.
All 3 of these people have almost exactly the same opinions on things I already know about and think I understand. I trust them enough to have the right opinion on stuff I dont.
Boy do I have good news for you.
Joe’s
I don’t trust opinions, just facts.
That’s not really how facts or opinions work. I hate anti answers, why even participate in the thread?
How do you decide what is a fact and what isn’t?
