Robert Murray Smith made the point a few days ago, in a rather more diplomatic manner, about the difference between expertise and expert. [0] For those who read German, Bonhoeffer makes a similar point in "Von Der Dummheit". Dummheit literally means 'Stupidity', but "Societal Confusion" is definitely a better way of putting it. Bonhoeffer was imprisoned and executed by the Nazis. [1] And of course there is the classic "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay which covers the classic fads like the South Sea Bubble and Tulipmania [2] [0] https://youtu.be/LMaH8LYPgWU https://youtu.be/LMaH8LYPgWU [1] https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Von_der_Dummheit https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Von_der_Dummheit [2] https://amzn.to/3KFs6hW https://amzn.to/3KFs6hW
