What the Hell is an "Expert?"
What is an expert? For that matter, why don't we trust them? In this week's episode I interview Jamie Carlin Watson, a bioethicist and professor with a whole host of academic credentials at the end of his name who also happens to be an expert on the very notion of expertise. We discuss the madness that gripped the world during the COVID-19 epidemic, the fall of credentialism and why both of us have zoom backgrounds full of prestigious looking books to show how smart we are.
