    Holy shit yes. Everybody thinks they’re smarter then everybody else. That’s a huge part of the problem. Nobody can just stay in their lane and admit anymore that a person with a PhD in a specific field might know a little more about that field than you. Even the educated now think they’re the smartest person on the planet.

    You 100% should not trust:

    • An epidemiologist’s opinion on inflation
    • A civil engineer’s opinion on viral spread
    • An economist’s opinion on traffic flow

    They’re just as guilty of this bullshit as everyone else. It’s everybody. The whole fucking planet at this point.

      Also people think being smarter means knowing more, which is stupid. A guy who spent thousands of hours studying random topic is obviously going to know more about it, no matter how smart you are it just doesn’t replace time spent learning
