“Don’t Trust Experts, Experts Say”
Between 2000 and 2018, the number of people with doctorates more than doubled.

I’m worried.
“Is ‘rainbow fentanyl’ a threat to your kids this Halloween? Experts say no,” NPR assures me.
And if there’s one thing we’ve learned in these past few years it’s to believe the opposite of what experts say. The media has given up trying to get people to trust it and now asks it to trust its handpicked experts. And those experts say the same exact things that the media says.
Every subject is now tackled by experts.
Do you think that a Senate candidate who can barely grasp a sentence is worrisome?
“Fetterman’s use of captions is common in stroke recovery, experts say,” the Washington Post wheedles. Experts tend to say that Democrats should be elected and Republicans shouldn’t be. They agree that when a Democrat does something it’s very different than when a Republican does it. And if you think the experts are biased, the experts will say that they’re not. Q.E.D.
Experts warn of the rise of “misinformation”. And misinformation has come to be defined by people disagreeing with experts. Experts say that anyone who disagrees should be deplatformed. If you disagree with the deplatforming, they say you should be deplatformed too.
Much like Canadians say “eh”, and the Brits say “innit”, the media says “experts say”.

Is there an exam, a certification, a licensing, a voting, or statistical accountability to become an expert?
If an expert is wrong more than a % of the time, do they get kicked down to the minor leagues or move to the senior tour?

People have become too ignorant/stupid to think for themselves and are convinced that they need "experts" to tell them what to do.

An expert is someone that can tell you what you want to hear....

"expert" is a compound word.
"Ex" is a has-been, and "spurt" is a drip under pressure...
