This episode I look at the word ‘expert’, not so much to do with court as more widely in society.
In many areas of life, experts affect us and sometimes spectacularly let us down. I look at some examples.
We need experts but there are few people who really know what they are doing well enough to advise the way experts do and I think we need to be realistic about experts and the word itself. Perhaps it's time for a rebalancing of how experts are perceived across all fields and industries.
I think the term ‘expert’ is overused and overvalued and should be viewed as what it often is - an educated guess that often comes without accountability. I discuss this and look at examples.
