I get to use my passing knowledge of various areas to talk with authority on a few core points that I select, while in fact being uneducated on most of the topic. Any public interaction where you’re not being cross-examined by an expert is very vulnerable to this dynamic.

The human mental algorithms for detecting authority of others on a subject, and their extrapolation of your knowledge to encompass a scope neither of you are even sure of, is a very interesting and exploitable social dynamic in such low-bandwidth interactions.

Combine that universal constant of human interaction with the appearance or even _implication_ of a prestige position (executive, influencer, etc), and its very easy to see how liars and cheats make such easy work of our social systems. It’s all trust heuristic exploitation.

Knowing this makes (especially live) media interviews all the more concerning, considering how they are leveraged to pomulagate information both from a prestige stage and interviewed by a non-expert.

This explains how easily some people can take on the job of political commentary, and expand it to multiple hours a day. It’s all an exploit. There is literally no human way to fill that time with educated material. 1-hour weekday programs have to have teams that still struggle.

SwiftOnSecurity @SwiftOnSecuritySomething I think a lot about is what is a reliable signal for gauging someone’s expertise in a field you are not familiar with. I’ve provisionally distilled it down to Unanticipatable Edge Complexity. They are able to drill down without hesitation into imperfections in models.Afficher cette discussion4 réponses 5 Retweets 70 j'aimeAfficher cette discussion
I go by the following rubric - Do other people, who are also experts in the field, know of and recommend your work? Can I see examples? Usually the best judge of people is other people who are also invested in what you’re doing.
