Expertism

An exaggerated trust in "experts" to the detriment of one's own critical thinking; a neediness for "experts" to validate a course of action, else that action should be suspect; a dependence on "experts" that suggests a lack of confidence in oneself; a worldview that is over-reliant on "experts." "Expertists" affirm expertism and will likely ridicule those who reasonably question "experts."

Expertism characterized the Covid era, as gullible people unquestioningly followed ever-changing guidance from "experts."

If your are an expert... And you are wrong and I am right... Your expertise... Is rendered meaningless. If I contradict the consensus... And I am correct... Your consensus is collectivized fallacy.

Hym "And NOW... You're trying to justify maintain your claim to expertise by saying 'Well, yeah, no we're still the true Scottsmen and we have a consensus so ad populum.' And, I don't actually care about your level of expertise... You are trying to do is enforce this epistemic authority. But your an expert in an incest cult. And THIS (what you are doing to me) is your white intellectual property theft tactic. You surround me, arms locked, and chant your grabled meaningless drivel... And then you wait for me to die... And then 'rob the grave to snow the cradle.' "

Expert "Yeah, no, hey. Words mean more when I say them."

Hym "That's a thing you can think I guess but really they don't."
