Waking Times
I recently saw a comment under a controversial video discussing , an archaeological site. The presenter is a well-known author and former musician but doesn’t have an academic background in archeology. Here is the comment:
“This guy isn’t an archaeologist. This is bullshit. Look him up on Google. He’s a fucking musician who just has a thing for African culture which is great and all that but it DOES NOT MAKE HIM A GEOLOGIST OR A SCIENTIST!”
We are often judged by our formal education diplomas.
However, it is worth asking ourselves these questions :
Does the fact that someone has no academic degree in a particular field mean that this person is not capable of being an expert on that topic?
