You are not an expert
Because
You will miss things
And
The internet knows
The truth and lies
You did not spend years learning
It’s obvious that
Details are wrong
Only snap judgements matter
Education doesn’t matter
Experience doesn’t matter
When you can’t see the big picture
It’s plain
control
and
manipulation
Emotion is-
The only thing that
You can believe
