Have any of your read, “The Death of Expertise” by Tom Nichols?
It’s a great read.
But it also explains Dutch, Babe, and Joe. The Internet Age has given morons a soapbox to be heard from that they didn’t have 20 years ago. Just today some moron on twitter (might have been Dutch) lectured an American General about Iraq using a Wikipedia page. He later deleted his tweet once the general responded and it became obvious that he merely copied and pasted some crap from wiki.
On one hand the internet has made a place for us to all communicate. But not all communications are well informed, accurate, or credible.
The Death of Expertise is a great read about our times, how we gain knowledge, and why our society seems to respect experts and knowledge less and less.
