Suddenly, Everyone is an Expert
Have you noticed how, these days, everyone is an expert about everything? Its social media that has done this I think.
Stories are floated around woefully lacking in any truth, substance or reality and people read them as if they were gospel. Many feel compelled to benefit us with their encyclopedic knowledge on the subject matter and quite honestly the result makes me laugh at its stupidity … except it doesn’t because people simply can’t tell fact from fiction, truth from lies and they do not know who or what to believe. It is sad and it is dangerous.
There is an old movie starring Peter Cook. He works his way up from nowhere to be PM of Britain and, using a combination of theatre and by allowing everyone to become an expert and have their say on everything, he manages to essentially assume total power – he becomes a dictator. Everyone is more than happy to let him take this position because everyone gets sick and tired of voting on every issue and having so much say. The movie is called ‘The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer‘ and I recommend it to everyone.
