Umberto Eco on socialmedia:

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community. Then they were quickly silenced, but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It’s the invasion of the idiots.”

And thus Eco shows his own arse - as though Nobel Prize winners had any sort of claim on anything beyond a very narrow specialisation.

Of course, given the utter drivel Eco has mostly written, I shouldn't be surprised by this.
