A farmer friend once told me “an expert is just a has been drip of water”. Lots of wisdom in that statement.

“Experts” describes the population of Ph.D.’s propagated at an industrial level and nationwide. U.S. universities have become graduation factories.

Americans made gods out of these people. Truth to tell, and in my 20 years, personal experience, once two inches off their respective campuses, not one of these ‘experts’ is functional at at anything.

Ironically, in screen combat with our resident FR ‘experts’ on the ‘vaccines’ I have stated EXACTLY that little factoid.

Thanks for the bump.

"See, today even alleged the experts in comedy are falling short."

Huh?!

They are self-appointed experts, anointed by the mob. Not scientists, ‘cause science demands peer review (by peers, not some TWOT “fact-checker” ) and that the proposed theory account for all facts, not just the ones yah cherry pick for the MSM news-bite.
And, I don’t mean: “E went to school, yada, yada”. No, has “e put theories out there and had them ignored (i.e., means bad theory) or cited by other scientists in their own work? If not the latter, then “E is a charlatan.

It might be one thing if the experts demonstrated some expertise. If these doofuses could actually make the trains run on time, at least our trains would be on time. But our experts today are such that they think it’s a great idea to spend billions on high-speed trains running between Bakersfield and Fresno....

But they can control the climate if we just give them enough money and power. Yeah right...

The real reason the elite hated Donald Trump was not that he was an ideological conservative (he only sort of was) or that he tweeted mean things (they like mean tweets, just not ones directed at them). It was that Trump identified the failures of “the best and the brightest” and called them out. There is nothing these experts hate more than challenges to the authority they think they deserve.

Most experts are academics, government employees or are closely allied to the government. In other words, they are generally bureaucrats whose expertise is bureaucracy, not the thing that about which they are supposed to know something.

As a former bureaucrat intimately involved in the workings of two federal agencies with engineering and scientific missions, you can take what I have said to the bank. Dr. Fauci is a very good example but he only one of many.

But if you don’t have an expert to give simple answers what happens. If a politician says we are going to have to rely on the Invisible Hand, who will elect him?

By the time they get to the top of the food chain, they’ve forgotten anything they ever knew, except how to backstab political opponents

You are on the right track.

Real world experience teaches us that the sociopaths rise to the top of large organizations.

They excel in back-stabbing, lying, kissing the feet of senior management, corrupt dealing and self dealing, self promotion and stomping over others at every opportunity.

Virtue signaling is a sure sign you are dealing with a dangerous sociopath.
