You have a presumption that experts should be believed. However the roots of my own success are based on ignoring “experts”, from my college professors to my bosses, until I was so successful that I became the “expert”, and others started listening to me. The concept of “expertise” is bullshit.

If something is difficult to understand, even for so-called “experts”, that is a sign of severe dysfunction. All topics can be distilled into simplistic understanding. Once you speak in academic gobble-dee-gook you are done for.

Yes, my guy, I happen to believe that people who know what they're talking about should be listened to. I suspect you won't find this controversial. The world is far too complex for anyone to be sufficiently competent in every field.

Simply false.

lol.

This would be a good candidate for a Reddit-like 'flair' concept so I wouldn't waste my time responding to someone who doesn't believe in the concept of people who know what they're talking about.
