Im not sure what you mean by the 'Era of Experts', much less it coming to an end. Can you explain this further?

There's a great documentary about this by Adam Curtis called [HyperNormalisation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fny99f8amM), discussing how truth is seriously under fire right now.

nope.

Yes, admit it. Don't lie to yourself.
