I have recently stumble on this article from well-known author El Gato and it seems pretty actual. What do you think is the reason, why we are facing the crisis of competence?

    The author talks at length about competence and respect for expertise, then conveniently avoids any mention of climate change. My guess is they’re that type of pseudo-intellectual who is a “climate skeptic” rather than being an actual critical thinker. And of course they know better. Than the experts. Who are competent.

      Yep, I know people like that. They are always doubting climate change, and you can add some far-right or incel theory behind.

      Ah yes, no wonder alarm bells went off when reading this guy. Pro Trump, Covid skeptic, the pattern emerges.
