5. & reported uncritically by right-wing media.
Voila! […]

What’s happening in Ukraine is tragic. But war doesn’t automatically make every Ukrainian a victim—let alone an expert. Europe has a habit of elevating fake experts. That’s the essence of the #DunningKruger effect: confidence far beyond competence. #fakeexperts #EU #Ukraine
Some self-proclaimed European experts should listen before speaking. Maksym Hlukov, the supposed former CEO of ProZorro (Ukraine), stated at UNCTAD16 that “artificial intelligence doesn’t understand content.” A textbook case of the #DunningKruger effect. #UNCTAD16 #AI #fakeexperts

What are high-performance researchers? Are unethical people emulating high productivity. They publish very frequently, often in fields they haven't studied, with unknown partners, with parasitic publishers where they pay to appear relevant. #thinkaboutthis #corruption #fakeexperts

The modus operandi of parasitic publishers with researchers and funding agencies is exactly the same as that of pharmaceutical laboratories with doctors to prescribe their branded products instead of generics. Corruptors and corrupt. #FakeExperts #EUFunded #EUResearch #OpenAccess
The second stage involves fake experts with no expertise, who ignore different research methods (because they have never studied them) & open access publications (because they are corrupted by parasitic publishers) #FakeExperts #StopDiscrimination #EUFunded #EUResearch #ERC #REA
EU #experts have no expertise. They do an undergraduate, master and PhD and go to work at the same institution where they graduated, not on merit, but by appointment (corruption). They ignore #OpenAccess publications and different #ResearchMethods. #FakeExperts #HorizonEurope
