This is especially true in a field like international relations where (1) US policy has been a disaster over the last two decades, but (2) was widely supported by the foreign policy elite. If judged by track record, therefore, only the contrarians have any shot at being expert. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with deferring to a class of experts is that there are only a handful of outliers in any field; the vast majority are mediocre and suffer from groupthink. Invariably, when you are told to defer to experts, it means the mediocre middle, not the true standouts. — PolitiTweet.org

@GirkeHanjo In IR, the standout who’s been “contrarian and right” for decades on the biggest questions (China, Iraq, Ukraine) is Mearsheimer. Cue the usual attacks. But understand that the reason he’s attacked is not because he’s wrong but because he’s right. — PolitiTweet.org
