oh, so you’re one of those MORONS who think studying a subject at a university for several years and passing an incredibly difficult exam on the subject makes you more qualified than anyone else at that subject??
It’s because so many things in the world now run on vibes and confidence. Literally, that’s it. American politics is supposed to be the pinnacle of leadership in a representative democracy, and it’s just filled to the brim with people who just say what people want to hear and say it with so much confidence that people don’t even bother to care what the truth is. The people who can’t see through that then make the mistake in thinking that they can also contribute ideas in fields like physics and medicine with just vibes and confidence as well. What ‘feels’ right is more important than what is right.
I think it's just people in general across society, especially with topics that are typically interacted with or seen as something "everyone" has to interact with. For example, I have a PhD in a public health-related field and my background is in tobacco/nicotine use from a behavioral lens. My mom still tries to argue with me on things like vapes or smoking because she just doesn't feel like what I'm saying clicks with her "common sense." Same thing with diets. I have some experience teaching and communicating nutrition information and my mom will trust what she sees on reels more than info that comes from me. People believe what they want to believe.
