Death by expert. Do you want a virologist to tell you how to do your job and run your home?

Experts can kill you.   The write-up for Delaney's "A Plague of Experts" spells it out: 
"Danger derives ....from the ability of the expert to marshal the top-down legal authority and resources of government in the practice of their specialty."
We are living through such a hell with CORVID19.   The virus is invisible and there's nothing you or I can hear, smell, taste or measure to prove it's there or not and if we're avoiding it or not.  This is the perfect setup for global governance types to advance their top-down agendas to give voice to superior types of people like themselves.   "Trust me" is the mantra  (and I respect people who have studied and learned well their field).  "Trust me" is also the doorway that government loves best.  It didn't quite work for climate change but it is going like a house on fire for bat virus shutdown fear. You heard of the camel's nose under the tent.    With "Trust me", the camel gets to walk right in the front flap behind the experts who got you to open up. 

TRUST BUT VERIFY.
Puhleeze.

For an entertaining rant, see below for Sarah Hoyt's "A plague of credentialed experts" or from a few weeks earlier, "A plague of madness".

"The plague that has laid this country low, destroyed our economy and brought us to a place that no external enemy could have brought: this plague of experts. Or perhaps I should say “experts” since most of them have behind them only a long string of failed prognostications, followed by promotion within the “civil servant” echelons.  Yes, I am talking about Doctors Birx and Fauci. I’m already seeing people pointing fingers at the president and complaining that he’s relied too much on these “experts.”
