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.

Like climate experts that don't know the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere.

CO2 is good. The more the better. All plant life depends on it in abundance.

Shh...they get bent out of shape when you tell them "more CO2 means more plants".
