I have noticed that in the workplace. I was working at a place and at some point, they made a young and obviously inexperienced guy a subject matter expert.
When I asked him a question, it was obviously either none sense or he would go and ask the other subject matter experts.
Either he would not listen to the question and go into some other direction or it was none sense.
What you know doesn't matter. It is all about image. Image sells.
It saddens me that we live in a society where knowledge has less value than marketing.
^^^^^That kind of stuff is well covered in Dilbert.
In psychology, there is this
Dunning-Kruger effect
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effectwhich summarizes as the more inept you are, the smarter you think you are.
It makes sense.
The more I have studied and still do, the more I recognize that there are many gaps in my knowledge. The amount of research papers and subjects is immense. No single human can master all of science.
"Think about Joseph Smith's and Brigham Young's writings on racial relations;"
==I don't know much about mormonism. I heard Brigham Young was a racist hole. He said something about "Shall I tell you about the negro race. If you marry a niger, I'll kill you in your sleep.".
What did Joseph Smith say?
"Boyd K. Packer's comments on masturbation"
"Russell Nelson's comments on homosexuality; and Wendy Watson Nelson's comments on spiritual sex"
==What did he say?
I can't judge them without knowing what they said. Perhaps they have made some valid points.
"And the consequences, for a lot of people, have been very tragic from ruined lives to suicides."
==It's not easy to convince theists that their way is wrong because it is like telling them that their god is wrong.
In their mind, their religion is absolutely correct, the jewish god is absolutely real, and his morals are absolute.
Quite a lot of them seem to be faithful soldiers. They don't have morals. They simply obey the rules of the jewish god.
