I think you may have missed the point: the differing levels of consciousness lead to differing ways of selecting authorities. Normies accept the default authorities. One level up, they have the capacity to select alternative authorities. One level up from that, and the concept of "authority" loses significance. They can develop the capacity to disregard and dismiss any and all authorities if their judgement guides them to do so.
From a personal perspective, I used to watch the network news and never doubted a word. Now, there are a number of topics on which I would disagree with every person who writes on it publicly.
Of course, no novel thought can come into the world without first being in disagreement with everything else. Otherwise it would not be novel, would it?
your last para: I think we just h ave different sources of authority
and for normies it's: govt., science, celebrity, sports
and if you don't think "we" have the same look at the frequent names which appear in the posts
