Comment on I love science
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 5 days agothere should be a gate keep barrier. there is a big difference between a scientist with a degree who works in science, and a science enthusiast.
there’s nothing wrong in the second one, I just think we shouldn’t mix em too much, less we end up with “expert” without qualifications (were already here).
that being said

Meaningless distinction. There are many fields of science an expert in one is not an expert in others.

it’s meaningless in most social context.
except when it matters. when is a real issue, I don’t want TV to interview a science enthusiast about climate change, or vaccines. get real experts.
