Where is this mentality coming from where people who don't know about a topic wanting to be in charge of whatever it is they're talking about? This definitely is one factor as to why we don't live in a meritocracy.

For example: Don't know shit about folding tables, but there was an MSM "news" article talking about it? You outta be in charge of all things folding tables - tell people where to buy them, how to use them, how to manufacture them, which colors are going to cause the apocalypse, and, by golly, everybody better be all-in on those ideas because you got a feeling about it.

This is so weird. I haven't looked closer at this phenomenon to see if any of the people advocating for a meritocracy are spouting these things, but I'm pretty sure they're not. That being said, there are a. lot. of people that talk like this in america.
