EP#83 - The Death Of Expertise

In the midst of a pandemic, a climate crisis, and an otherwise rapid changing 21st century, we have one question: where are all the experts?! The past decade has given us a drastic fall in the trust we have for our institutions and people who actually know what they're talking about. This episode we talk about the side effects of this. Topics include: the rise of armchair experts, the United States fall in education, and the psychology behind our avoidance of the facts.
