The Motivated Skeptic: Some Thoughts on Elites, Populism, and The Mess We Are All In
The Motivated Skeptic, a Substack published by the Scottish philosopher Robin McKenna, has an thoughtful and extended review of Weaponization of Expertise:
A recent book…sets out to explain and critique the technocratic mindset and the common narrative about the problem with public discourse that goes with it…. They quite rightly skewer assorted members of the expert class for two related failings: they over-estimate their own skills and abilities, and they under-estimate the skills and abilities of ordinary people… As a corrective to the pathologies of elite discourse, this is welcome.
