SW in recent years

SW 2020: Full of science experts.
SW 2022: Full of science experts and political/gun experts.

It must be comforting to have all the answers, all of the time. :)
The older I get, the more questions I have than answers, alas. I admit I’m especially impressed by the numbers of "doctors" we have here who never spent a day in medical school. 😅
@uncalled4 Indeed.
@uncalled4 Y’know, I said something I never imagined I’d ever say…one of the 18-21 years was expounding upon something they were convinced only had one perspective. Channeling my grandmother, I finally said, "Oh, yes…when I was 18, I knew everything, too." 😋

@bijouxbroussard Here's the intrinsic problem: An 18-year-old doesn't know what's it's like to be our age, but someone our age knows what it's like to be 18. And yes, the world seems black-or-white on every issue. The reason I usually stay neutral, besides the fact that people are generally nuts, is that there are shades of grey on most subjects. And, I'd also like to have friends!

I was privileged to manage projects with a staff of Ph.D. s, experts in their various fields. I learned a couple of things: First, I am not an expert on anything; and second, those experts had expertise in only a narrow field and very little in most other things.

@exexec My dad had a theory that if one advances far into one discipline, other areas suffer.
I love when they want to give me advice on my mental illness. 🙄
@uncalled4 My Drs. don’t even quite know what to do with me. I’m just trying to stay out of the hospital… and trying not to die.

@JustGoneNow A great songwriter once said "just surviving was a noble fight".
@uncalled4 indeed. and every great song is just three chords and the truth.
One thing to think about........ You can poll ten experts, and you will still get a wide array of opinions. Real experts, not the SW kind. LOL
I always thought it was full of sex and relationship experts, but what do I know...

@GohantheThird I stop short of using the word "expert" here lol
@uncalled4 these are facts

Yep. Read a wiki page, watch a YouTube video and BOOM you’re an expert on every conceivable subject… or so they’d have you believe.

Who knew ….that most most of the worlds top epidemiologists and infectious disease specialist were all on one place?

The velocity of new found knowledge itself has evolved. Highly disciplined experts are becoming anachronisms quickly due to the explosive expansion of the information age.

The watchers thinker and searchers always knew that it isn't the answers we seek first, but the right question.

Knowing consists of faith. Learning consists of updating and folding in of all new information as it avails itself. The age of the intellectual is coming to a close.
