My response to Paul Dean on Facebook

 

Quite right Paul. But such is the evolution of Facebook. You have Whatsapp now for family stuff.

Facebook offers everyone the possibility to publish their views and exchange what they read from others,  to the world.

In view of the fact that we humans - at all levels - are always making errors and correcting them  all the time, we the 99% are no less pertinent than the 1% that think they know it all. But the media, the intelligentsia, the deep governement, the establishment.... don't like it.

Your view reflects what I thought too: everyone feels as if he or she can give a pertinent more or less documented opinion on any subject. This is a piece in my blog which goes into this.

But when I read comments on Facebook or blogs... I always find common wisdom or common sense. After all journalists, politicians and the so called "experts" are of the same fabric as each and any one of us. The difference is the amount of time and work they have done and that is applying more and more to everyone because of the power of social media.
