Haven't read The Death of Expertise: The Campaign against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters by @radiofreetom.bsky.social yet, but this stings:
Paradoxically, the increasingly democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed and angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement. When ordinary citizens believe that no one knows more than anyone else, democratic institutions themselves are in danger of falling either to populism or to technocracy or, in the worst case, a combination of both.
