Thank you for the amazing post, Marvin. As we're making a platform where knowledge circulates, the topic lets me think about our approach and if we're not ignoring great pieces of advice that truly touch a nerve.

The words of George Bernard Shaw come to mind: "Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance."

I wrote something similar: "Faux experts are like devils: The greatest trick they ever pulled was to convince the world they didn't exist.

Real experts are like Bigfoot: they are exceptionally hard to find (if they even exist at all).

If recent events are any indication (e.g. COVID, the politically correct industrial complex, social media’s summary execution of capital-t Truth, et al), faux experts are sadly a lot more prevalent than real ones."
