We're Dismissing Experts for Charlatans
We're just in this place epistemologically, I suppose, where we can just say no to any information that is inconvenient to the worldview that we've decided to ascribe to. And it's really tragic. The other problem here is that when disinformation or misinformation is now shared by people we trust on social media, because they're also having the same problem of knowing who and what to trust. It does land us in the post truth era. Like you mentioned, we are discarding science and we're discarding experts for charlatans, influencers.
