The assault on expertise is driven by an agenda to place uniformed, ill-conceived, often politically-motivated antiscience from charlatans on an equal footing with scientific consensus. Please read #ScienceUnderSiege by @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & me: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/science-un...

I wish Caroline Kennedy had already sued Donald Trump for co-opting her father's memory by taking over the Kennedy center and destroying it.

Lying heroin junkie grifters are more trust worthy and knowledgeable than #PhDs and #MDs. 🤬 This murderer is desperate to add millions to the deaths he caused in America Samoa. They didn't vaxx folks and ran out kid coffins during a 2019 measles epidemic. MagaTs begin the culling of #America.

MAGA is desperately trying to convince voters that expertise is bad, or suspect, or untruthful Success at that is a key step toward not only authoritarian control, but also the end of our species - eventually

You know what really is a feature of religion AND totalitarianism? BLIND FAITH Believing something without evidence, without facts, without experts agreeing with you. Or today’s equivalent: believing something because some nutcase wrote it on the internet.

He is right (in an obtuse way) that expertise per se is not infallible and that non-experts can and do contribute to science. Scholarship is about testing hypotheses, debate, and dialog, creating knowledge as much as discovering truth. But expertise and science are not the same thing.

Nope, he's not right. He's invoking a fallacy that equates a valid precept with an absurd one: bsky.app/profile/mich...

YellowPup @yellowpup.bsky.social

Yes, of course. It’s an obtuse argument so that he can make policy based on his personal feelings. It’s ridiculous to expect people to do all their own science. Libertarianism and science are incompatible, it’s the science of a toddler, not accepting anything he can’t put in his mouth.

Stalin disavowed the expert Vavilov to favor the quack Lysenko, Mao purged and instilled hatred against intellectuals and scientists, Hitler wanted all scientists who happened to not be considered loyal Aryans dead. No, unbiasedly trusting the experts is not totalitarianism, quite the opposite.
