|content=Spoiler Alert: Our US 50+ Year ā€œ[[Labor Shortages|STEM labor shortage]]ā€ is *totally* 100% faked & rigged ... by the same political class that rigs primaries.

|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg What they intuitively don't believe in as much are their experts: ones they pay for/elect (H&R Bloch, their HMO, their senator etc..) or the ones provided for them (news analysts, columnists, public intellectuals). And this distrust is about expert loyalty, not expertise itself.

|content=Just listened to my friend @SamHarrisOrg w/ @RadioFreeTom.
Ā 
I was unexpectedly bewildered. Given the right forum, it would be an honor & privilege to steelman the substantive case against experts & their institutions into coastal-friendly PhD-style expert terminology & language. https://t.co/qVf4udNnco

|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg First of all, nice to meet you Tom.
Ā 
Iā€™m concerned that many of those rejecting the highly trained, experienced & credentialed are trying to send a cogent & reasonable message that can be strawmanned because they donā€™t speak the language of the academy. I think we can translate.

|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg 1/ Great. It sounds like we agree on a lot. Letā€™s agree we shouldnā€™t attack real expertise or fetishize the simple wisdom of laypeople in expert matters. What I think is happening is that lay people are catching on that they are being priced out of the market for expert loyalty.

|content=2/ I think most lay people believe in experts...and the new words for expert are personal, private, etc. They believe experts are now private doctors. Personal chefs. Private pilots. Private police and fire depts. So thereā€™s awareness, but no loss of confidence in experts.

|content=3/ This then leads to the public experts & intellectuals. Here laypeople are increasingly conscious of real games played in back rooms & razzledazzle at the podium. This is the realm of the Esoteric/Exoteric experts w public theories for the out-group & real ones for insiders.

|content=4/ Here again, lay people believe that there *are* experts but that without special access (e.g. lobbyists) they canā€™t command the expected loyalty of a public servants and thinkers. Who, after all, is informing the public about the minute to minute changes in a tax bill?

|content=5/ If I take what I saw as the big three trust breakers in the 2016 election:
Ā 
I) Free Trade</br>
II) immigration</br>
III) Terror
Ā 
Each was defended by experts to the public by a suite of out and out lies that were maddeningly self evident.
As if outsiders and morons were the same thing.

|content=6/ In all three cases there was essentially a reality embargo to the public by expert cartels. Krugman called the case for freer trade an elite scam. The [[IMMACT90|Immigration act of 1990]] *actually* involved an expert conspiracy to promote a fictitious [[Labor Shortages|ā€œSTEM shortageā€]] to lower tech wages.

|content=/End And in the case of terror, it was so weird that politicians would look for any motive except *religion* for some reason that must be from some policy. The level of fiction given to the public was beyond insulting. It was outright derision &amp; contempt. And the derided saw it.

|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg Okay. I'm claiming that if we put the adjective 'private' in front of nouns associated w expertise (physician --&gt; private physician, school --&gt; private school, etc.) you'll find lay people believing it represents real expertise &amp; thus an unfair advantage. They believe in experts.

|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg @paulkrugman What are your thoughts here @RadioFreeTom? I can go into detail on a number of these. We could do the fake STEM shortage backed by the [[National Science Foundation (NSF)|@NSF]] and [[National Academy of Sciences (NAS)|@theNASciences]] if you donā€™t believe in such things.

These are from trade theoristĀ  @paulkrugman in his ā€œProtectionist Momentā€ piece. Iā€™m not trying to win here. Iā€™m worried that you arenā€™t watching how this neo-liberal edifice is being abandoned because the expertā€™s public stance was a lie.
