Seems We’ve Turned Over Decision-Making to the Experts
Experts can be very useful. When I need my car, air-conditioning, or home repaired, I will call an expert. When someone in my family is ill, we go to an expert in the form of a doctor for treatment. When it comes to things like the Constitution or computers, others come to me for my expertise. I’m not saying we should get rid of experts, but there is a problem.
As a society, it seems we’ve turned over decision-making in many areas to experts. As Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts, and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely.”
So we should not be surprised that as we have given power over our lives to experts, corruption would soon follow. And as that power has become absolute, so has the corruption. I think it’s time We the People, start vetting our experts better, or we will suffer the curse Lord Acton warned us about.

Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

With the release of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there has been a lot of speculation and downright assertions about our future. With over 30 years of experience in Information Technology (IT), not more than a passing understanding of AIs, I've come to the conclusion that much of what I've heard is more science fiction than fact. A recent court case decided in the D.C. District Court revolved around one very important question. Do AIs have rights?
In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?

I don’t know which bothers me more, the evidence that there are those who are leading this nation into a dystopian nightmare, or the willingness of the people to follow along. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

If everyone thinks that someone will do something, then no one does anything. That is how so many of our current issue seem to have come about, by everyone expecting someone else to do something. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
