To clarify why (I find it so disturbing), I need to start with the term described neatly by no one else than the famous Nicholas Nassim Taleb - “Intellectual, Yet Idiot” (IYI). Who are IYIs?
According to NNT, there’s a certain class of individuals who:
are “products” of top universities, prestigious “thought-leading” organizations, elite think-tanks, or the most opinion-forming media
but have only dry, theoretical, academic “experience” - never had any real chance to verify their beliefs with reality
and (what’s maybe even more important) have no “skin in the game” - they take no factual accountability for what they say/advise/claim
are nevertheless bold and cheeky enough to present their opinions with full confidence, without blinking an eye
Paper-thin, fake authorities, made of horseshit, feeding on the stupidity of the gullible masses. IMHO the nickname IYIs fits them perfectly.
