Chris Bray and Trish Wood: The Collapse of the Expert Class
I think what defeats this kind of behavior is truth, is truth, and eventually enough people notice it.
Imagine being part of a group that's supposed to know everything, only to find out they can't admit when they're wrong. That's what this episode of 'Trish Wood is Critical' is all about. Trish sits down with Chris Bray to talk about the so-called expert class and their refusal to own up to mistakes, especially around COVID-19 policies. The conversation doesn't stop there.
They dive into the psychology behind why these 'experts' can't say sorry, the development of vaccines, and what it means to live in a society that mimics others without question. They also touch on the importance of free speech and how it's being threatened by corrupt local governments and censorship campaigns. And if you think remote places like Haida Gwaii are just for vacations, think again—there's a deeper story there too.
Trish's style is as engaging as ever, blending empathy with tough questions to get to the heart of the matter. If you're curious about why some people just can't admit they're wrong, or if you're interested in the broader implications of free speech and independent journalism, this episode is a must-listen.
