The Death of Expertise: How the Confidently Incorrect Rule the World

Описание: Recording from a bunker lined with unread academic journals and diplomas doubling as emergency toilet paper, it’s your host, Donovan! In this episode of Deep Dives in the Shallow End, we unravel the twisted wreckage of modern anti-intellectualism—where ignorance is celebrated, Wikipedia warriors reign supreme, and Socrates would probably down a hemlock cocktail just to escape Twitter.

From the infamous Dunning-Kruger effect to the rise of “do your own research” epidemiologists, we explore why expertise is under siege and how misinformation spreads six times faster than the truth. Why cite peer-reviewed studies when a guy named “TruthWarrior69” on YouTube already figured out quantum physics while microdosing in his garage?

Join us as we dissect the absurdity, hilarity, and sheer existential despair of a world where your aunt’s Facebook prayer group is more trusted than actual scientists.

🔹 The psychology behind overconfidence and why dumb people think they’re geniuses
🔹 The internet’s role in flattening expertise into “just another opinion”
🔹 The irony of rejecting experts while relying on technology they created
🔹 How anti-intellectualism became a proud American tradition

Grab your tinfoil hats, your Big Pharma conspiracy scrolls, and your misplaced confidence—this one’s gonna be a ride.

🎙️ Listen now before an algorithm decides what you should think for you.
