Have no talent or intelligence, know nothing more than textbooks. They can easily make living because they can be very conveniently put in some specific "fields" in modern society - a giant machine that has been dehumanized by specializing, such as engineers, technicians, programmers, even professors. As matter of fact, they function just fine except one profession: medical doctors, where they dangerously do more harm than good.

I think you can only judge experts individually and in a specific context. Some do know more than others about specific topics do they not? But when they are labeled such - in a court of law for instance- the danger is that their mistakes can be taken as fact. This is not the fault of the label, but of the situation, yes?
ReplyDeleteeh... I might be a little too cynical here.
