The erosion of respect for "expertise" - or the false equivalency of having an opinion vs having an informed opinion.

 

Experts get things wrong, no doubt, but expertise is a real thing - and certification of expertise (through whatever method) is also an important thing, in all sorts of fields - electrician, scientist, educator, plumber, builder, vet, doctor etc etc etc.

 

It shits me to tears when I see hard earned expertise reduced to just another opinion among many.

 

I think the Internet has a lot to do with this shift

Mainstream media too - one of the reasons the majority of British people voted to leave the EU.

wasnt aware of "fam" as a term in itself until this thread, clearly fabulous/premium social currency

now i, too, can be down with dem yoof innit, go to nighty-clubs, make ill beats, "drop a deuce" on it or something

yeah, them "scientists have discovered..." "recent study is showing..."

without any sources provided

I've seen one too many underpaid student interns in media companies that write (really just copy-paste and edit) about utter nonsense, trivialties and mockery or paid PR

what kind of a job is that? no wonder the economy is shit if 2/3s of the job market is basically completely unproductive and just shovel shit from one point to another.

(no offense to labor workers who are the only ones who actually make some physical stuff) <-- and they get less payed!

the logic is just upside down in economy.

popular youtubers, paying these people just to play video games what the fffff.. yeah, i'm jealous

The rise of online pornography leading to teenage boys no longer having the great surprise of finding a copy of Razzle et al in their local woodlands

mcbpete just wants boys today to learn the great joy of squatting in a bush for their first orgasm just as he did

Bush - You some kind of pervert ?! Bus shelter mate ...

Do kids still hide copies of Razzle in the toilet cistern in school toilets? If not what do they hide in them? SD cards full of unreleased AFX tracks?

People that say "spoilers" in a high pitched voice, then proceed to blather on about whatever anyway.

Bronies.

If Trump directed his platform at them and hipsters instead of muslims I would vote for him

The way the definition of the word "pretentious" has expanded to describe anything more complex than a young adult novel.

...so once we free our minds we all become bronies?

 

Because when someone who uses their digusting sexual cartoon fetish to identify themselves as sub human they're flagging themselves down for the future Trumpcication Camps.
