Don't know about you, but I'm starting to lose my faith in "experts."
Seems to me, the folks who own the information infrastructure, ie the billionaire class, pick and choose the "experts" they want you to heed. Needless to say, those are inevitably the "experts" who happen to push the interests of their paymasters.
This most obvious observation is today dismissed as a "conspiracy theory."
You can find experts with a list of credentials longer than your arm to take any side of any issue. There's certainly no shortage of experts in this world.
Experts, especially the ones who are cultivating careers as "experts" on FoxCNNMSNBCetc, are in it for the money. Once a research scientist takes a government post, their science is by definition politicized. Yet we treat the "experts" who stand in front of the cameras with a totally unwarranted deference.
To our peril.
