A barrister representing Gill defended her work, arguing she was an “expert” and did not need to be “regulated” to advise the court in the way she did. He pointed out that the ACP-UK was not a regulator.

What's that? A group of biased "experts" want the power to arbitrarily silence other equally capable "experts" who disagree with their shaky models, and are willing to drag some random kids repeatedly through the wringer of the courts to make the case they should have that power?

No, technocracy with zero outside controls for corruption would never be so opportunistic or manipulative!

I feel like it's Japan's fault so many Millennials trust "experts" without any questioning.

Boomers didn't trust them because of Vietnam and the secret tests on black people in the 60s and such.

Then anime happened and in every anime that takes place even just slightly in the future, some benevolent council of technocrats is ruling society. They are normally the ones hiring the protagonist or something.

I feel like that got subliminally implanted into the whole first-generation of anime watchers' brains. "TecHnoCraCy gOod ANd nATurAl."

Wut lol

Liberals worship credentialism because liberals control the institutions that issue credentials.

I'm more talking about their blind trust and faith in institutions. It's not just because they control them. There's different flavors of leftists, and under the right conditions they are normally constantly at each others' throats. I bet you a lot of leftists feel like they don't even control the institutions. They either think the experts are completely non-biased or not left enough.

I wouldn't underestimate the conditioning that gets implanted into people during their childhood. It comes from places the parent least expects, and I find a lot of people today having insane dumb anime-plot ideologies that they base their entire belief system around.

LOL at thinking that boomers don't trust institutions. Have you ever actually met a boomer in your life? The vast majority of boomers trust doctors and believe what they see on the television news, whether they prefer Fox or CNN.

The only reason why the boomers turned against America in the Vietnam War was because the mainstream media did.

No boomer I know believes them. They won't go to the doctor's and won't listen to them.
