Matt BlazeReally impressed by the number of people on social media who turn out to have expertise in both deep sea engineering AND modern Russian political dynamics.
Hmm, a LOT of people seem to think this was directed at them personally.
Orin@mattblaze They spent a lot of time at the Dunning-Kruger institute.
Dan Riley@mattblaze I do know people with experience modeling carbon fiber structures. I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t test first.
James Britt@mattblaze Evergreen post. :)
Joe Cooper 🇺🇦 🍉
Advanced Persistent Teapot@mattblaze hey, once you've mastered cryptocoin futures and American election poll design, the rest is easy
JP Etcheber@mattblaze Immunology and epidemiology is child's play after all that.
Alexey Merz@mattblaze I’m impressed by how few of them seem to understand the difference between space (delta P ≈ 1 atm) and the bottom of the sea (>300).
@merz @mattblaze to be fair space has other issues. You don't have to worry about a 30,000km/h grain of sand in a submersible. But yeah very different problem sets.
DC@merz @mattblaze I heard a journalist describe what happened to the submersible as “explosive decompression”. 🤦♀️
Choong Ng@mattblaze It's quite a phenomenon that the loudest and most confident voices happen to be so knowledgeable in so many areas.
Jenkins@choong @mattblaze We'd have no idea what was going on if they were a bit more introverted though, or something!
SpaceLifeFormStrange conjunction, eh?
Steven Galbraith@mattblaze don't forget their also profound knowledge of epidemiology, vaccines, refugees, transgender, etc
Mxhradand we can't forget they're also leaders in the fields of middle eastern politics, constitutional law, fetal development and every religion.
Dave Hay@mattblaze experts gonna expert 🤪
Draken BlackKnight@mattblaze Like how 3 years ago people were suddenly experts in epidemiology and political science?
Noah Cook@drakenblackknight @mattblaze Yes, I remember that quite well. By then you could tell the actual experts because even the sailors and engineers were looking at us and going "hey, maybe not so many swear words?"
I had hoped that all the promotions to armchair general last year would have put a stop to it, but no.
Tom Ritchford@mattblaze Probably taking a break from their other careers as epidemiologists.
HTTP 1.1/418 Teapot@mattblaze They've got some pretty extensive medical expertise as well.
Elaine (they/she) 💜🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈@mattblaze I'm surprised you don't know about University of Phoenix's online program teaching perspective students both deep sea engineering and modern Russian political dynamics 🤪🤪🤪
Andy@mattblaze Ah yes, the Dunning–Kruger effect. I’m an expert in that. 😆
Waterluvian@mattblaze It’s just a shame that none of them are nuclear experts. I think that’s going to be relevant soon.
Looking for explanations…@mattblaze Most of us are experts on lots of things. Just don’t ask for our qualifications.
Wolleysegap@mattblaze It's the Internet. We're all instant experts.
Ossian Puhakka@mattblaze I mean, both that sub and Russia are heading the same way so it's not that inconceivable. 
Dadmin@mattblaze Hey, if only experts should talk on social media, then we wouldn't need social media 😆
WTH, if I would talk only about fields of which I am a *real* expert, nobody here would ever have heard from me. 😉
Mastodon is like the large jar of mixed old screws & bolts in my garage. On many occasions I dig through it, some screws fit, some don't. But most of the time I find something which does the job. 😆
Greg Whitehead
TunafishTiger@mattblaze time for some /game theory/
Lloydian@mattblaze @cautionarytale
And now that I’ve impressed you, let me tell you all about presidential document control.

Arosano@hachyderm 🇮🇱🇩🇰@mattblaze I think we are all #journalists.
Skrrp 
@mattblaze eh, I never claim to be an expert in submarine engineering. I'm just a student of people.
Once I read that article about how they sacked then sued the engineer that asked questions about safety I made educated guesses based not on engineering knowledge.
wrosecrans@mattblaze Thank you. I appreciate the compliment.
Tommi@mattblaze Thanks, I had some time to study both subjects now that it's been quiet on online immunology and virology front
@mattblaze Turns out I was a double major.
Antonio Jose Parejo
Jorge
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦@mattblaze they're really very similar: it's all about not buckling under immense pressure.
Richard@mattblaze when my daughter was very young (weeks to months old), she had a feeding tube you would be amazed how many experts would offer their expert advice on best practices when we were enjoying a coffee in town.
Silvercloudfox@mattblaze Usually just leave these things to the experts...🙊

Jeffrey Goldberg@mattblaze I do engage in uninformed speculation, but I try to label it as such. My track record over the past 18 hours should also serve to remind people (as I do explicitly) that my guesses can be very wrong.
this is after they got done educating epidemiologists and physicians. 🙄
Winged Hussar@mattblaze
What will I find scrolling backwards through your timeline?

@Springhead Go right ahead.
@mattblaze
Everything checked out okay...
Everything checked out okay...
@mattblaze don’t forget those few triple threat experts who also opine about crypto.
David Lewis@mattblaze just wait until the next major story erupts and THOSE SAME PEEPS prove they have the the same level of expertise
what's that definition of insanity again?
Keith (karmajunkie)@mattblaze yes, its been a growing field ever since the Kursk incident...
wb x64@mattblaze that's because they have "ex-CIA" in their bio, that's how you know you can trust everything they say on the internet! 😉

Frank Inserra@mattblaze The majority of news media are busy making money off ad revenue from pitching stories with elements of suspense that the readership will follow daily and find appealing -- not stories they "should want you to know about" or that would be beneficial to know about, or that will promote a better human condition. Telling them or beseeching them to report otherwise is yelling revolution in the shower. If the daily dose of monstrous indifference to human suffering sold ads, rest assured, they would report it (over and over and over again until you couldn't tolerate it any longer). You can always find such reportage, but it will seldom find you.
Eric McCorkle@mattblaze impressive, since I'm not certain that the Russians understand Russian political dynamics.
BenAveling@mattblaze look I realise this is an incredibly complicated situation about which I know absolutely nothing but why won’t anyone take my incredibly simple solution seriously?
Mary Ann Horn
CautionWIP 🎃+🇨🇦+🏳️🌈= 
@mattblaze Social media has always been the domain of the highly skilled academic & polymath, no? 🤣
Bill D@mattblaze I’ll take “Implosions” for 200, Alex
Jeff@mattblaze it's a melting pot.
