I HATE THE LIBERALS WHO SAY "WHY DON'T PEOPLE BELIEVE EXPERTS ANYMORE"!
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!
LOOK AROUND!
YES, THERE ARE "EXPERTS" IN EVERY FIELD WHO ACTUALLY SPEAK TRUTH!
BUT THE PEOPLE ON TV TELLING LIES ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT CREDENTIALS AS THE TRUTH TELLERS! AND A FUCK OF A LOT LOUDER VOICE!
SO IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ANYONE OUTSIDE THE SPECIALTY!
THE FACE OF THAT SPECIALTY IS WHOEVER SHOWS UP TO LIE ON THE JOE ROGAN SHOW TO SAY THE MOST UN-HINGED THING!
THIS IS HOW MEDIA WORKS
AND THE PURPOSE OF THE MEDIA IS TO AMPLIFY THE EXISTING POWER STRUCTURES: OIL, CAPITAL, SILICON, EMPIRE, ETC.
MEDIA EXISTS TO SERVE THE PEOPLE WHO PAY FOR IT
AND THAT AIN'T YOU OR ME
SO NO, I DON'T BLAME ORDINARY PEOPLE FOR NOT TRUSTING "EXPERTS" NOW
I DON'T
BECAUSE I AM AN EXPERT
AND I AM SURROUNDED BY EXPERTS
AND THE SCALE OF LIES IN TECHNOLOGY NOW ARE BEYOND ANYTHING I WOULD EVER HAVE IMAGINED POSSIBLE IN MY NAIVE YOUTH
