What Makes You an Expert?
When there are disagreements we often hear this: “my opinion is just as valid as yours.” Everyone has an opinion and nothing more. Expertise deserves no special respect or deference. Experts are elitist.

Information retrieval is an exceedingly low bar for learning, but it is where much of the educational establishment sets the bar.
Know What?
The standard for knowing for two thousand years has been “Justified True Belief.” This view of knowing is being modeled before our eyes in the current pandemic.
Confused about Knowing
