The thing is, expertise can manifest as tyranny.
Rather than using education to find our way around this and equalize power, we’ve just made stupid-fascism and expert hegemony because everyone with certification is sick of a guy on Facebook who describes himself as a ‘ball tanning influencer’ telling them their 20 years as senior person at the CDC on the front lines of epidemiology and decade of med school are worth nothing.
We must never improve. Nothing must ever improve.
Not true! We’ve all heard of the communist part…
Oh they don’t anymore do they?
We can fix that.
Important reminder: you are not ‘supporting artists’ when you pay for media.
I live in Los Angeles. I know a lot of art gays. The ones who teach art class and pull down that ‘public school teacher’ money rent rooms to the ones who work on films with ten figure budgets.
You do not support artists. You fund their exploitation.
I support artists, because I tip cash when I buy coffee.
So while you Jack yourself off about ‘supporting artists’ by voting with your wallet, I’m gonna use one of those flosser things to get their pubic hair out of my teeth while we look at my favorite Linux ISO’s together.
The olds do it too and it’s so much worse for them.
