It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured ignorance that did it.

Elon Musk & his mother joined the Trump MAGA cult family for Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago instead of being with his 12 children from 3 different women. Sylvester Stallone also attended.
