Hudson Institute's @​wrmead argues America's expert class is losing its authority because the world is changing faster than its institutions can adapt. "We're now in an age where nobody knows the answers." "The university culture, the intellectual culture has become much more wonkish, much less the creative innovator, much less the deep-souled investigator." "With AI, who really knows what we're going to be dealing with in five years? Nobody." "Who knows how to solve the problems of a technology that nobody understands? Nobody." "Who knows how to manage the geopolitical competition between the United States and China? There's not a rulebook for much of this stuff." "When waves of change come through, the experts aren't as good as they used to be. They don't know the answers." "And as individuals, many of them just don't have the experiences or the personal qualities to deal wisely and effectively with the uncertainties that they face." ▻
