Caffeine Stream 29: The Much-Needed Death of Expertise
Today we dive into the subject of "expertise." How do we identify an "expert," or otherwise delegate legitimate knowledge? Can we trust experts?
To try to answer these important contemporary questions, we examine three books:
The Death of Expertise by Tom Nichols
https://dmpi.pasca.radenintan.ac.id/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2018/11/The-Death-of-Expertise.pdf
Kindly Inquisitors by Jonathan Rausch
https://www.amazon.com/Kindly-Inquisitors-Attacks-Free-Thought/dp/0226705765
Skin in the Game by Nassim Taleb
https://www.amazon.com/Skin-Game-Hidden-Asymmetries-Daily/dp/0425284646/
Mostly, we address the horrific and absurd problems with Nichols, the tragic good intentions of Rausch, and the insight and observation of Taleb that most advocates of "trusting the experts" miss in our persistent search for better decisions in a changing and uncertain existence.
Leave a rating and review, it really helps others to find the podcast.
