You know it’s occurred to me recently that there really is no value in this age to any kind of professionalism or seniority

If you don’t agree with somebody, nothing else matters

It’s like people (you as an example) have taken the concept of experts and fucked it up so bad that simultaneously everybody thinks they’re an expert while also dismissing everybody else who claims they are an expert

It’s like the whole concept is entirely poisoned. Worse everyone is smugly pointing at the Wikipedia for “appeal to authority.”

Nothing new I suppose, Socrates after all was driven to suicide by the madness of his society accusing him of impiety.
