Can you perceive the irony?
Post-modernism states that there is no objective or “privileged” viewpoint; all viewpoints are “equally valid”.
I state that Qualifications are important, but it is even more important that your statements accurately reflect reality.
Cognitive dissonance anyone?
My qualifications:
4 years military service USAF.
Undergraduate degree in Biology.
Masters Degree in Molecular Biology.
Section head for a Pharmaceutical company.
And my #1 Qualification: The things I say about Biology, Evolution and the nature of Science are usually correct, verifiable, and corroborated by the research efforts of numerous Scientists.
But if it makes you feel superior, keep with it. I wouldn't want you to feel like one of us laymen.
