Every single person now thinks they’re smarter than everyone else. No matter what their political leanings are, they’re all smarter than everyone else. Smarter than:
Doctors
Scientists
Engineers
Economists
It’s absolutely ridiculous and it started sometime around the 90s around when Ross Perot first ran for president and it just got worse with social media.
That’s the real problem right now. Everyone thinks they know more than people who spent decades studying and becoming experts in their field.
To be fair a lot of people with PHDs are dumb as shit. Maybe not in their field, but in every single other aspect of life. That’s part of why arguments from authority should be avoided–the authority may be expert of their field, but their area of focus is likely extremely narrow.

Absolutely. That’s still kinda the point.
You 100% should not trust:
They’re just as guilty of this bullshit as everyone else.
I agree with your overall premise, but this is a bad example since capitalism is a disease
