I don't know anything about it but the art and title suggest to me that it might involve curses, yes.

Lib Dems plan to force vote on replacing Lords with elected upper chamber in c/uk_politics
[–] essell@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I generally love the Libdems, but honestly, who looks at the house of commons and says "yeah, that's working well. More of that please "

Maybe let's sort out some of the fundamentals before this, else it'll be more chaos.

Reform the Lords (properly) now, take ten years to restore faith in the democratic process and then this would be a good idea

I'm with this. Totally agree.

Only the original Deus Ex has captured this genre so well.

It's even harder than that for me, because I'd have to cross an entire ocean.

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge.

This isn't a social media thing exclusively of course, I've met it in the real world too.

When I worked as a repair technician, members of the public would ask me for my diagnosis of faults and then debate them with me.

I've dedicated the second half of my life to understanding people and how they work, in this field it's even worse because everyone has opinions on that topic!

And yet my friend who has a physics PhD doesn't endure people explaining why his theories about battery tech are incorrect because of an article they read or an anecdote from someone's past.

So I'm curious, do some fields experience this more than others?

If you have a field of expertise do you find people love to debate you without taking into account the gulf of awareness, skills and knowledge?
