Terrible force

Abstract

Positions that were previously held in public life by impartial expertise, are now heavily shaken. In the era of the Internet, Wikipedia and social networks, the masses moved from the natural skepticism to the opinion of experts to actively contradistinction their own ignorance with the amount of data accumulated by science and practice. The paradox is that campaigns against scientific knowledge are often led not only by ignoramuses, but by people who have all the possibilities for an adequate understanding of the issue.
