Holy shit yes. Everybody thinks they're smarter then everybody else. That's a huge part of the problem. Nobody can just stay in their lane and admit anymore that a person with a PhD in a specific field might know a little more about that field than you. Even the educated now think they're the smartest person on the planet.
You 100% should not trust:
They're just as guilty of this bullshit as everyone else. It's everybody. The whole fucking planet at this point.
An economist's opinion
Ftfy
Economist here. This is pretty much the anti-intellectualism that everyone here is talking about and this is the opinion I've seen constantly on Lemmy.
Most people have no idea what it is that I do and think it's something to do with making billionaires more money. It isn't and it never has been and it hasn't been for anyone that I've kept in contact with from any of my classes.
You don't have to be involved in financial matters to be an economist either. We're more involved in finding out root causes and impacts in certain fields.
To be fair while economists do a lot of good empirical testing across disciplines they are notorious for mis-interpreting other fields
