Death Of Expertise[Book Discussion]

We continue our book group series today about the Death of Expertise by Tom Nichols, which is very dense with a lot of provocative and thought provoking comments, topics and ideas. It was so interesting that we decided we needed two sessions to fully unpack this. This is part one, which is about how expertise as a society is handled, how social media changes and the cyclical nature of confidence in our institutions, and how technology is shaped in buying patterns in use by expertise. If you’re interested, please participate in part two of the discussion! We also talked about the Dunning Kruger effect, the idea that the less you know about something, the more confident you are, and that gaining knowledge makes you more knowledgeable but also less falsely confident in how you present yourself. It’s a more complex topic than that very short summary. “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ― Upton Sinclair, I, Candidate for Governor Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/m--7wT4fRjdodT3qRuXs6N8VB4E?utm_source=copy_url Image is book cover
