In 2023, someone has finally characterized the term "expert" as pejorative, which makes us wonder why. Looking back at the statements and opinions of some so-called experts in recent years, it is not difficult to understand why the term "expert" has been so devalued.
First of all, recall the remarks of Xu Xianchun, former deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics, who advised low-income people to rent out their idle houses or use private cars to work on Didi.
Such a suggestion is simply unreasonable, completely ignoring the normal economic needs and survival pressures of low-income people. The fact that a so-called expert is so ignorant of the situation of low-income earners raises doubts about the professionalism and understanding of reality.
Secondly, remember the views of the economics professor at Sichuan Agricultural University?He suggested imposing a high interest tax on households with more than $500,000 in savings to stimulate consumption. This view is actually an infringement on the accumulation of assets and the rights and interests of individuals, and violates the basic principles of the market economy. This raises questions about the economic literacy and values of this so-called expert.
In addition, the remarks of Dong Fan, a professor at the School of Management of Beijing Normal University, are also shocking. He went so far as to suggest that farmers buy houses in the county seat, then drive back to the countryside to farm, and continue to repay the mortgage after retirement. This view is obviously unrealistic and unfair to farmers who actually live and work in the countryside. The professor's advice not only lacks basic practical experience, but also calls into question his concern and understanding of farmers' issues.
Through the review of the above views, we can see that some so-called experts often give opinions and suggestions that are far from the actual situation. Their remarks not only lack a practical basis, but also run counter to the actual needs of the masses. Instead of contributing to society, such "experts" mislead the public and policymakers, leading to further aggravation of social problems.
To sum up, the reason for characterizing the term "expert" as a derogatory term is that in recent years, the remarks and opinions of some so-called experts are far from the actual situation, and there has even been a disregard and misguidance of people's livelihood issues. This has created suspicion and distrust among the public about the "experts".
We strictly check the quality of our experts' opinions to ensure that their suggestions and opinions are in line with the actual situation and can truly make a positive contribution to society. Only in this way can we ensure that the value and status of the title of expert are truly respected and recognized.
