Dr. David Winberger - "Everything is Miscellaneous"
Initially the conversation was started by Winberger. (11:28) He has a focus on the university intellectuals, and I am interested in the K-12 educator, but his point is well taken when he states: “We had this idea that there were these authorities who have PHD’s… well you know, that never worked, doesn’t work now, instead what we have, as we always have, nuances of authority where authority becomes meta-data. Authority is: ‘Here’s meta-data that tells me I should believe you, to one degree or another.’ And we all get to create the meta-data which is a huge problem of course because a lot of us aren’t qualified to judge what should be believed, but we do anyway. Because? Just as we continue to talk even though we are not qualified to.”
