Death of the x-pert!
Launching the 'data change' movement
First off, I would like to welcome www.Erickaclay.com as a subscriber. I was totally blown away by this. This lady is a high end columnist. I totally thank you for joining Creative Philosophical Fireworks universe.
We are in the tailspin era of the so called expert! The infamous expert was the individual society turned to provide clear information on a subject matter because they possessed all of the information on the subject matter. That individual had lived a life on that subject matter. You took for granted because of advanced degrees they were credible and could bet the farm on what they said on the matter. However, in this era we are existing in that thought process is quite antiquated. The expert must now go through a reformation and you the individual also.
With the advent of this data driven society via the ‘corporate footprint of big tech’ we must now put a big question mark on the idea of the expert! The same way we ‘followed the science’ are we now just ‘following the data’. However, I know that data isn’t the same data of twenty five years ago! Data wasn’t compiled so quickly in the past. It wasn’t updated by the minute or second. You had to wait! You had more time to digest and deliberate. The world moved at a slower pace. It wasn’t flying around as it is now! What was just said impacts the expert’s effectiveness immensely.
We must now ask where, when and how does the expert get his data inputs from so that they can give us the highest quality analysis! This means that the experts job is much tougher! Also, the moment of so called data inputs are increasing! Does the expert question his sources? Do they know if there sources are taking the time to make sure that the data they are given out to there clients are the cleanest? The same way we must trace the source of our food source to make sure it is the cleanest or organic the provider of data and information must do so also! That must be thought about when you are sourcing information!
The next level of thought is does the purveyor of information care about what they do? Are they about the client? If the information being utilized is suspect or not clean then the analysis from that data is not good which leads to a faulty vision to the world…. Which impacts the quality of decision making. It is a very slippery slope! This then leads to what I call in my forthcoming narrative Humanistry a ‘lens dissension! THIS CREATES A UNCLEAR WORLD!
Since we now live in this device, computer and smart phone driven society where decisions are being made at the most granular levels, what was just said must be thought about when you are making decisions! This means since we are trained to follow the data because it is on a device we as a whole must question this process of decision making for the betterment of society! Just because it is presented under the guise of data doesn’t mean what it use to mean. The same way society has been taken over by what is called ‘climatic change’. I am stating here and now a ‘data change’ movement needs to be launched because the expert who makes a living from this data must be thought about.
This is why I am stating the death of the expert is upon us. Now that term expert must be updated and overhauled. We are in a very tumultuous time. Perceptions, context, realities, experiments and the whole idea of what is called clarity is at risk! If clarity is at risk then each individual idea of what is called clarity is at risk. If clarity is at risk then each individual idea of the world in front of them is suspect!
I know that many would toss what is said here into the balderdash bin because the populace mindset is quite frail. This frailty however is the basis of the world around you. This is why I always have respected the stock/commodity trader because they live by their decision making and clarity of the world. Most of us do not! We have this false luxury of not living on the threshold! However, due to this ‘follow the data’ society driven by the Digerati you are very much doing so. The pandemic just proved this.
We live in a society that over values convenience, speed, and comfort over depth…..How can those ramifications not spill over to what is called data. Now lets finally get to the definition of data:
To get it without a question. Facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.
Philosophy…… Things known or assumed as facts, making the basis of reasoning or calculations.
Computer data is information in a form that can be processed by a computer.
As you can see data is supposed to provide depth but if the concept of depth has been redefined without us being told then all of our data is highly suspect.
I have learned you can call anything data in this new media society we are in. I am stating this is the ultimate game of sophistry! We are in a ‘quality data crisis’ no matter how you slice it. To really see we have devolved to this ‘silent yet extremely loud data crisis’. I will go to Latin which is the word datum:
Means a given, or what we take for granted and use as basis of our calculation. Latin more than English exposes the crisis center.
Now to close, I am announcing the death of the expert and even more importantly the beginning of the data change movement! It is time especially as we get steamrolled by what is called A.I. The data will be even more challenged! End of part one.

There is love and hate…. There is fear and freedom… Both your choice!!
Now what will your mind allow you to do.
P.S - I am making a critical lifestyle change. Moving from 10 -12 hour writing and research back to what many call regular life. Essentially leaving #pandemicexile. I will be announcing a series of funding initiatives as I must get back to the thick of life. I will be announcing three specific funding operations and showcasing some of what was produced during this incredible transition I will placing the work for sale. A game changing opportunity was offered to me which will change my life if I pull it off. I will need some funding to make this proprietary opportunity happen. #staytuned
