Where to look for experts?

    Do you read Saprykin’s columns in the Poster? He is now head editor at Slon.Ru, although, they say, he will continue to write for "Poster". One of his last columns is called "Where did the experts go?" He says that the number of experts has become scarce, they have been squeezed by the "trade and procurement specialists" and Google that have expanded in recent years. And in general, in Russia "for each individual segment of reality, as a rule, there is only one expert who is able to tell something intelligible."

    Of course, you can agree with Saprykin, you can argue. However, he is able to recall that we, like, already know, but forgot, stopped thinking about it. We are used to getting used to everything. But this question related to experts really bothers us. We want to argue.

    We are engaged in the evaluation and implementation of innovative projects and the promotion of innovative products in various fields. For us, the expert community is a key asset. They are involved in the process of selecting ideas and projects, evaluating their scientific and technical potential. We value experts, pay well for them. It is important for us that they are, and we know that they are.

    Here Saprykin writes that experts have died out or are hiding somewhere. And by what criteria are these people evaluated? There is an assumption that in order to become an expert in a certain field, you need to spend ten thousand hours in one session. This is about seven years, five hours a day. Do you think this is enough? Or rather, this: is it generally the right criterion to consider the depth of understanding of a topic in man-hours? Why then not in man-letters for outstanding contribution to the achievement of something? Or in human medals on human breasts?

    Of course, we will not find the only instrument capable of measuring this depth, because we are not looking. But we believe that a true expert is an objective skeptic who is in love with his subject, like a beautiful woman (or a strong man, whom to whom). He does not stand still, uses every opportunity for development and is guided in his field as a good developer in his environment. And his opinion is worth a lot.
