Technology and increasing levels of education have exposed people to more information than ever before. 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: with only a quick trip through WebMD or Wikipedia, average citizens believe themselves to be on an equal intellectual footing with doctors and diplomats. All voices, even the most ridiculous, demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism.
Tom Nichols' The Death of Expertise shows how this rejection of experts has occurred: 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, among other reasons. 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. 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. An update to the 2017breakout hit, the paperback edition of The Death of Expertise provides a new foreword to cover the alarming exacerbation of these trends in the aftermath of Donald Trump's election. Judging from events on the ground since it first published, The Death of Expertise issues a warning about the stability and survival of modern democracy in the Information Age that is even more important today.

《专家之死》l 思维导图
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
专家有教育的责任;选民有学习的义务。无论专家提供多少建议,最终只有公众可以决定重要国家政策决策的方向。只有选民可以在攸关家庭和国家的各项选择中做出决定,也是由他们来为决策担责。但是,专家有义务帮一把。 1、专家与平民 今时不同往日,或许不是因为今人比百年前的人... (展开)【书评】《专家之死 - 反智主义的盛行及其影响》by托马斯·M·尼克尔斯

主观推荐度:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓为什么读这本书 我被“反智主义的盛行及其影响”这个副标题所吸引,从个人的切身感受而言,“专家”被污名化对社会进步是有负面影响的。现在民粹主义抬头,普通人在没有掌握相关知识的情况之下,很容易被情绪所左右... (展开)获取知识越便捷,为什么我们却变得越无知?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
大多数人可能都没有意识到,我们实际上不关心事实,我们只是根据自己对事件的假设和判断,去寻找能支持自己的理由,并以此证明自己是正确的。但这么做,很可能让我们陷入“无知却不自知”的境地。 什么是这个时代的无知? 《专家之死》是一本相当尖锐的针砭时弊的书。如果你曾... (展开)“无专家时代”要来了,你准备好了吗?

你尊重知识吗? 对于这个问题,相信大多数中国人都会给予肯定的回答。然而,看看眼下的舆论场。不仅“公共知识分子”这个词已经被污名化许久,连大部分专家,也被戏称为“砖家”,若是他在电视或者网络上抛头露面,更有可能被耻笑为不务正业。世人似乎得了一种怪病——一方面我... (展开)> 更多书评 51篇

谦虚,谦和,人贵自知,让专家来专业的事。多听多看,不仅仅只看自己喜欢看的,反方的意见观点更应了解。力求做个不傻的人。

创新2,内容2。 作者批判了美国的反智现象,顽固的自我无知。原因归结为教育,互联网和媒体的偏薄。有一点感触深:网络信息巨大,让人产生容易掌握某领域知识的假象,但罗列事实不是真正的专业,需要深入学习和理解。

[有声书] 内容如标题所示,从多个方面讨论了专家被喷成砖家的原因,新闻啊记者啊网络公司啊大学教育啊等等,虽然有点口水话,但有些章节还是蛮棒的,尤其是大学教育那一章(可能也是我背景知识最多的一章吧所以收获比较多),简直把当今美国大学的服务业性质、把学生的感受而不是传道授业解惑放在首要位置、上大学门槛低且变成高中的延续等等问题集中抨击了一番,不可谓不爽。然而作者整体是持悲观态度,觉得这个问题很可能无解...

主题挺好,但一直在浅显的现象上转圈圈,不深入。
