I couldn't decide what in particular though!

Is it just me or does that picture look like a close-up of water gushing out of someone’s ass?

Yeah, it sure looks like something. I couldn’t decide what in particular though!

Experts. Always gushing out they ass. Which reminds me, thanks for stirring up those Technocracy dudes. It’s funny when people with no idea think they have a good one. It’s like a dog humping a cushion, and they even throw the same look at you when you kick em. Nice work.

It's the other side of our society's views on expert-ism I find far more disturbing, like jackasses with psychiatry degrees, who would never dream of testing the pharmaceuticals on themselves, who can't even <em>explain</em> how a serotonin-reuptake inhibitor affects the nervous system, handing out Prozac and it's relatives like candy; or, court mandated chemo and radiation therapy on children with cancer, even when the child and their legal guardians are against it, to the point of CPS intervening, just because some fucking nazi with a diploma wants to test out the latest deadly poisons. That's what I hate. Most 'expert's have their heads so far up their asses, embroiled in the trivia of their little speciality field, that they really have no clue how their knowledge even relates to the real world.

It leads to a partially informed populace assuming it knows when it doesn’t. It’s annoying.

don’t just listen to the experts, become one by…listening…to the experts?

It’s such a brilliant ruse, isn’t it?

It leads to a partially informed populace assuming it knows when it doesn’t.

Yes, and that is the furthest thing from accidental!

This kind of stuff leads to technicians thinking they're scientists. It leads to a partially informed populace assuming it knows when it doesn't. It's annoying.

Every expert has an agenda to tell their story of the facts as they see them (or as they get paid to see them). Go beyond politics and agendas for a scientific look at the facts.
