Experts and Public Careers–Do I have to mention any names?
A comment on public celebrity, the need for experts, and other commentary.
People who assume public careers need to have experts connected to them.
Many people go into public careers accompanied by many naive people, many naive friends, nobody has a clue, nobody understands anything, and they want to be public people.
Even the people who claim they are experts are a crude and rude bunch, and many of them there for the money also.
Of course, we admire a lot of these people. Many are honorable and great people. But they are so easily destroyed. And we so easily destroy them.
Sometimes people who do “have a clue” try to help them. But they don’t believe them. Or maybe they don’t know. Or maybe these people are not their “friends.” And these people cannot claim to be their “friends” because this is not their role, and they don’t truly know them, they cannot claim to truly know them. And the press is always interfering with that.
Most of these public figures because so many people join in betraying and destroying and insulting them don’t know who to trust. Even the people who befriend don’t know who to trust and/or even to trust them or not. We are a civilization of betrayed and betrayers. And the media betrays everybody also, including these outrageous journalists. So, of course, nobody trusts anybody else. And where money is involved–well, we all know about duh money. And most of us are in such desperate need for duh money. Because all of our cultures are based upon duh money.
As an autistic my world is very different from these people’s in that autistics develop many different ways of getting to know people, and the press doesn’t interfer with us as much as with many people–many so-called normal people who depend upon the press and media to even get to know their so-called friends.
Job description, class, grade level doesn’t interfer too much with us. But even autistics, as you know, can be a rude and crude bunch also. And autism disqualifies us from certain career choices. Few of us, for example, are going to be announcing our candidacy from president of any of your countries, although in their effort to gain credibility some autistics are trying to claim the great Albert Einstein and even the great Isaac Newton.
We are beginning to learn that we have many children in the autism spectrum, and autistics are claiming to have their own culture.
