=== The Expert Class in Decline === Weinstein's concern applies not only to scientists but also the larger "expert class." Journalists, academics, and professionals (e.g., doctors) face the same conditions of dependence and instability. He wrote: <blockquote> “''You aren’t having an expertise crisis. You’re having an '''artificial precariousness crisis''' imposed on your expert class by broken tacit agreements turning the community into expert witnesses who no longer can afford to put that expertise in public service.''” -'''Eric Weinstein''' on [https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1910686332512592304 X] </blockquote> Weinstein characterizes this as a structural process that turns independent expertise into [[Managed Reality TM|managed opinion]]. When professional survival depends on sponsorship or compliance, the public’s access to independent judgment erodes.
