There are plenty of blue checkmark specialists in these fields on Twitter who are ready to go to critique and contextualize their field. Of course the issue on Twitter is A) finding them B) filtering the low effort and bad faith trolling in the replies.

Other than twitter, I'm not sure where else you can find that audience that is accessible to a layman.

Slightly off topic but I once had a question at work on a very niche corporate finance topic. So I logged onto Twitter and tagged Aswath Damodaran in the question and had the world's foremost authority in Corporate Finance respond in like 30 minutes with a detailed answer. Twitter can be amazing for finding specialized expertise if you know where to look.

That is indeed the magic of Twitter. I’ve mostly avoided it since the last presidential election but prior to that my ability to connect with people doing interesting things all over the world was incredible.

Ok that’s very powerful. But yes, after 2016 I assume such places are a plaque themselves.
