ABSTRACT
The evidential barriers are quite low for answering little questions. In the same way, some answers to little questions are useful whereas others are useless. However, knowing why the people are reliable in some things and not others might help the people to more accurately identify big and little questions. The line between big and little questions is drawn at reliability, and the reason the people are reliable at answering some questions on our own and not others is that the people have minds that were shaped by years of evolutionary pressure. The people naturally think about lots of issues, and our thinking is only reliable in some of them. And so, the people rely on the tools that are good for little questions to determine the answer to a big question. In many cases, the talking heads are simply reporting answers to big questions that they learned from someone else.
