Noreena Hertz discusses the idea of ignorance in following experts and the value of non-expert ideas and opinions. If you can become an expert overtime, experts can become average thinkers as well. I agree with Noreena that we need to be cautious and aware of what we believe to be true, and what we believe to be expert sources. Is it safe to follow the advice of an "expert?" Does classification of an expert evolve as fast as expertise and knowledge in the industry?
