Quick mod note: This post doesn’t feel like it’s incorporating much of the background knowledge on lesswrong, and feels more kinda like someone writing a random buzzfeed op-ed. (Note, since you’re crossposting from substack: if you want to post extensively on LessWrong you’ll be expected to engage with the LW body of knowledge, intellectual scene, and site norms)
I also don’t know that your claims here hold up – many of your arguments seem to be making blanket statements about “experts”, which I expect to be true some of the time for some experts, but not all or even obviously most.
