I wonder which type of anti-experts these three jamokes are, What Makes You So Smarts? or You’re Not the Boss of Me’s!: Scene outside the Connecticut governor’s mansion in Hartford, April 20, 2020. Big guy (center) wearing a purple shirt and shades holds a hand-drawn sign that says, “MY BODY MY CHOICE” and “Scared? YOU stay home!” with a cartoon of a surgical mask crossed out.

From the Department of In Search of Lost Time, April 20, 2020, another very short essay:
Two types of anti-experts: Types who won’t accept that anyone is smarter than them and types who think it’s a crime for anyone to be smarter than them. Both are of the same more general types: The Oh Yeah, What Makes You So Smarts?, the Why Should I Listen to Yous?, and the Who Made You the Boss of Me’s?
