We are all experts…

Question from the Internet:

“Why is everyone nowadays an ‘expert’ on every subject like covid-19, Russia, war, etc.?”

We are all born “experts”. From our own inherently egocentric and subjective viewpoint, we all “know exactly” how things work and how the world is from where we look at it from.

It only depends on how audacious and outspoken we are and how much we promote ourselves as “experts” toward others. Most people are too shy to express their opinions, so they would rather follow the “self-proclaimed experts” who are confident and insolent enough to tell everyone what they think.

This is how completely uneducated and unhinged celebrities, for example, become “experts” on everything and the “ambassadors” for all kinds of “good causes” around the world.

But it does not actually matter. Even the “greatest world experts” have no actual clue about anything since they also see the world only from their own self-justifying, subjective and egocentric viewpoint.

In fact, we can become actual, “true experts” on anything only together.

Only when people, in special circumstances and with the help of a unique method, acquire a collective, mutual and composite perception of reality can they look at reality selflessly and objectively, seeing the world as it truly is.
