Tom Nichols: The Anti-Expert Era

Charlie Sykes and Tom Nichols dive into what they call the “death of expertise,” confronting how America’s most influential institutions are now increasingly led by the unqualified and the absurd. They explore the geopolitical and moral implications of the first American pope, drawing parallels to John Paul II and the Cold War. Finally, they reflect on Donald Trump’s staggering corruption in plain sight, the collective numbness it’s fostered, and the growing sense that the resistance—both moral and institutional—may finally be coalescing.
