     @shoq @mattblaze Yeah, nothing against him, just pointing out the irony of it all. All experts have blindspot. Part of being an expert is understanding (and accepting) that the list of "Things I didn't know that I didn't know" will never be empty. Best we can do is to keep tabs on that list and use it to improve the way we source raw data

     Yeah, I didn’t mean to endorse Tom, who can be a total bonehead sometimes, but it was the topic he drilled down on before others. We talked often back before MSNBC made him a brand. We still do sometimes. At least 7 years ago, he Tweeted, “I hate to admit it, but @shoq was right: @FoxNew is the problem.” :)

     @shoq @mattblaze Ironically, Tom Nichols was among the most vocal advocates against public health measures during the pandemic but only after he'd gained access to COVID-19 vaccination. I remember the shift clearly because our kiddo was too young at the time to get vaccinated and the majority of Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic persons had yet to gain access due to differences in demographic composition— the sort of stuff us actual experts were taking into consideration 😉

     Tom Nichols wrote a book about it. “The Death of Expertise.”
