I don't understand why you think this would work at all. People already believe bullshit wholeheartedly, regardless of what any science or authority says.

Because all the mechanisms funnel them in that way.

If we start not optimizing for engagement we will simultaneously stop optimizing for conflict and distrust.

People trusted old news anchors not because they were infallable jesus, but because there wasn't a engagement bot on their hip telling them to distrust them all the time. When the incentives are aligned with truth and exposure to truth, people's distrust of science will go down. Same goes for people's blind trust of pseudo science, even when it's in a white coat.
