What makes him an expert?
|
| The author is bothered by the ability of web users to express opinions without being "recognized" experts. This does not prevent him from expression opinions without any apparent experience in philosophy, psychology or cultural evolution. From my 25 years in the computer business and an MA in psychology, I don't take much stock in his opinions. A publisher felt otherwise and made a gamble that people would also be interested. By no means am I claiming that the author does not have the right to publish his opinions or that people have the right to agree or disagree. I picked out two or three of the points as worth discussion at some other place. I'm temped to resell the book and recover some of my money. But I guess I'll add it to my library under "Smoke" as in "full of"... Oh yes, other than the books and people he ravages (The book is for profit, after all.) there are no references to other experts or studies. He likes "some," "most," and "many" when making his sweeping claims. |
