I certainly don't think pilots should be running the show :) But, empirically, commercial aviation has demonstrated a degree of practical success that simply can't be compared to foreign policy -- that seems uncontroversial to me. So the question is why.
The idea there's some independent "correctness" that's defined by expertise rather than the trade-offs we've imposed on the field is so profoundly off the mark for commercial aviation that I really am genuinely interested in how this isn't obvious. Especially after Boeing Max.

This was an interesting thread to read I guess I can't square what I read as
@zeynep's stringent defense of elites as being all, fundamentally, alike with her critique of specific elites here.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1322557949320069127 … -
It seems clear to me that
@Chris_arnade's primary issue is that some elites earn their status via *directly* practicing the craft, and some earn their status via indirect practice (academia/advisorship), and that the two are not really equivalent. That's how I read it, anyway. - Show replies
