In reply to: He's the archetype narcissist-populist posted by Brahms

grasp of the world, his displaced anger makes perfect sense. (The classic conundrum of fishing, hunting, woodcutting, etc.: how to manage the catch to make a profit without risking extinction of the resource. Hard to convince people, I guess, to avoid short-term thinking when their livelihood depends on living paycheck to paycheck/harvest/catch etc.)

I file this datum under the heading of the war against expertise. Yeah, we hate the know-it-alls, but the differentiation of knowledge made us dependent on them a long time ago. Even on this board I am flummoxed at the anger against a dedicated public servant like Fauci.
