Seems reasonable that people would discuss a major world network on a social network they are active on.

“Experts” means nothing. You’re either knowledgeable or not. You don’t need a credential to have an informed opinion.

caring about the world is indeed important

but uninformed geopolitical takes from every (blockchain) tom, dick, and harry ain't it https://farcaster.xyz/aferg.eth/0x5458a472 https://farcaster.xyz/geoffgolberg/0x22df228d

my usage of "experts" was being facetious

seeing lots of uninformed assertions from people who are not knowledgeable

plenty of that on x as well.. but over there one can also find properly informed opinions from a large number of voices (see @mazmhussain's feed)

people will still have opinions and are obligated to share them, you could read and correct them if you find them sharing misinformation. i actually enjoy seeing different opinions on a topic like this, it makes here much cooler not less
