Commentary For some time I have been meaning to write about the subject of “experts” but hesitated—until a friend sent me this eloquent quotation on the subject from Winston Churchill: “Nothing would be more fatal than for the Government of States to get in the hands of experts. Expert knowledge is limited knowledge, and the…
Why We Lost Trust in the Expert Class
Commentary For years, European policymakers had assured the world that the relatively rapid “transition” to “green” energy was the world’s preordained future—regardless of the costs. Accordingly, many European Union governments followed the advice of green experts. They eagerly shut down coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants to transition immediately to “renewable energy.” Most citizens…
The Age of Experts
Commentary “In Holland, everyone is an expert in painting and in tulips.” ~ Albert Camus Once upon a time—and a very good time it was—a man could brandish his doubt in public with a certain degree of dignity and honor. To be unsure was the mark of an inquiring mind, one open to further study,…

Bonfire of the Experts
Commentary A couple of weeks before the completion of the catastrophe of the American presence in Afghanistan—or, if you believe President Joe Biden, the “extraordinary success” of the American evacuation—a Russo-British comedian named Konstantin Kisin published a brilliantly funny thread on Twitter headed: You’re struggling to understand why some people are vaccine hesitant.

Beware the Technocratic Virus Spreading Through Our Parliaments
Commentary The word “unprecedented” has been thrown around almost without a thought over the past 18 months.

It’s Time to Purge the ‘Experts’
Commentary The United States’ military mission in Afghanistan has collapsed in chaos and ignominy. The catastrophe has many parents.
