People are now exposed to more information than ever before, provided both by technology and by increasing access to every level of education. These societal gains, however, have also helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues.
Today, everyone knows everything and all voices demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism. Tom Nichols shows this rejection of experts has occurred for many reasons, including the openness of the Internet, the emergence of a customer satisfaction model in higher education, and the transformation of the news industry into a 24-hour entertainment machine.
Paradoxically, the increasingly democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed and angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement.
Nichols notes that when ordinary citizens believe that no one knows more than anyone else, democratic institutions themselves are in danger of falling either to populism or to technocracy - or in the worst case, a combination of both.

More Lefty Bull…
May 30th, 2017
@marcodiluce If it is, that was not my intent posting it.
admittedly, I haven’t read it yet, but from the summary, I didn’t find any evidence to believe this was a reactionary book based on Trumps win.
To my eyes, it looks as if it is heavily critical of the modern university culture, which to me, is evidence that it may not be the left-wing hit piece that you are expecting.
Though, when it comes to sharing books, I am not going to let my own centrist politics get in the way of posting a book. To me, there is no benefit to refusing to share books of any political persuasion. Censorship in all its forms is repugnant to me.
Either way, I hope you give it a chance before condemning it. Cheers!

Thanks for this upload. “More left bull” is really not an appropriate comment. If you don’t agree with the content it doesn’t mean the upload is bad!

Tom Nichols is a professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College and an adjunct at the Harvard Extension School. The Death Of Expertise is an extension of his original article in The Federalist (a mildly right-leaning online publication) way back in 2014.
Thanks for the upload, it’s an excellent book, and I look forward to rereading it on my bus trips to work.

Evidently. “Lefty Bull” is exactly what you’d expect from a professor at the Naval War College who worked at the Nixon White House, was chief of staff for Republican Senator John Heinz, and voted for every Republican candidate until 2016.
Good comment.
