Speaking experts and obedient people all need to develop a "public awareness" and know how to explain and understand "public topics".
In the past two days, the topic of "Advising experts not to advise" has been on the hot search.
Netizens have listed some of the hotly searched expert advice topics:
"Experts do not recommend young people emptying out six wallets to make a down payment" "Experts say buying a house is more cost-effective than renting a house" "Experts say June to October this year is a good time to buy a house"...
For these expert suggestions on "life events" such as buying a house and starting a family, someone left a message: It's very good, don't say it again next time.
The rebellion against intellectual authority is an interesting phenomenon.
It cannot simply be said that experts are talking nonsense, nor that netizens are anti-intellectual.
Sometimes there is some kind of dislocation in the public discourse space.
In fact, experts suggest that if you change the speaker, it may not feel so harsh.
For example, if the speaker is a relative, a friend, a teacher or a real estate agent, would it be more acceptable?
Thomas Sowell once put forward a very interesting point: the engineer's building collapses, the doctor's operation has an accident, and the corresponding price may be paid.
The public opinions expressed by intellectuals are only for reference, and mistakes will not be held accountable.
This shows that experts expressing public opinions have no direct interest connection with ordinary people, nor do they need to be responsible for the consequences of decision-making, so it is easy to be regarded as "standing and talking without back pain".
Therefore, speaking experts and obedient people need to cultivate a "public awareness" and know how to explain and understand "public topics".
Experts should understand that when the society puts the right to speak in its own hands, it is not to say that parents are short-sighted.
The essential meaning of the existence of experts is to make recommendations on public policies and to face relevant departments and social units.
The public may also wish to understand the value of public speech and enhance the connotation of public discussion, rather than restricting the meaning of public discussion.
As for the life guidance interspersed in the middle, it is enough to laugh it off.
