Now They’re Enlisting Doctors To Scare You Witless About Climate Change

In theory, people being more political sounds great. Less dreary conversations about the weather and the ‘footie’, and more watercoolers surrounded by colleagues fizzing with enthusiasm about democracy and its pleasures. [emphasis, links added]
But the actual practice of this presupposes that we will all be open-minded and curious and – unless we are extremely learned about something – that the opinion of all citizens shall be equal.
Above all, it fails to observe that pontificating about something you’re not an expert in – just because you have a more elevated station than the people you’re preaching to – totally negates this democratic dream.
It simply sets the stage for a silly symphony of busybodies.
