      Look, I don't want to dis social psychology even in its pop Brooksian form but "conventional international relations experts" are really helpful for understanding roots of Russia's behavior (and indeed some of the most criticized predicted something like this for a long time).pic.twitter.com/FiaJTgOntl

      Has anyone else noticed that centrists pundits (ranging from center right to center left) have shifted post-Trump from "we must listen to the experts" to "eggheads are often wrong, let me tell you what my gut is saying"

          I was never a big fan of the pure "just listen to the science/experts" position because science is mediated by social practice & has to be implemented by institutions that are not themselves scientific. But now pendulum has swung to "ignore eggheads, what do they know?"

          I think a large part of it is related to COVID

          Here’s my theory: Fox et al deliberately spread covid misinformation. It ranged from vaccine denial to general science denial (that was the approach taken by @tabletmag, which suddenly decided philosophy of science was in its ambit).

          Covid pretty killed off pundit belief in expert opinion because they know better than anyone else when covid was over or whatever

          Pillpod in their Hyperreality episode (just released to the public, before it was paywalled) made a point how the explosion of images aka a Baudrillard situation means one turns to one’s gut and not our eyes for we can not agree on what we are seeing for there is so much we…

          are seeing, and it can be framed in ways that tug at our emotions. Thus more individual morality, more of our gut, instead of shared social understandings.
