One you are trained in physics, it's is very easy to be trained in literally anything else. Furthermore, the theory of dynamical systems in which all physicists are well versed is literally a theory of everything.

Because physicists tend to have high IQ's and our society puts higher value on opinions from individuals that put on a smart persona. If you are perceived as intelligent, your opinion will echo louder despite any proficiency you may posses in that given profession. Whether fluid intelligence without knowledge gives you merit is a question for another thread.

Well.
Since physicists and other scientists have at least figured out some rules that are consistent, whereas, no other field has, tell me, kind sir, if there is anyone who even exists that is qualified to opine on any field other than in the sciences?
I mean, who can your “experts” in society, humanity, or philosophy even be, considering no one has ever figured any of those things out?

Although I agree that scientists are not qualified to make judgements on things outside of science, it is equally stupid to think that anyone who has not demonstrated continued success in their field is qualified to judge either.

Therefore, to expand on >>15369178 and others, since no one else’s opinions or judgements matter (because of their lack a successful model) for you to even be able to judge whether a scientist can judge any other subject is itself stupid.

Therefore, since you seem to think you can do this, that makes you either stupid yourself (and we can ignore your opinion on who can offer an opinion), or you are a grifter for some ideology, belief, or cause, in which case you are one of those people who confuses loyalty with fact, and may I suggest you fuck off back to /pol.

A polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, romanized: polymathēs, lit.'having learned much'; Latin: homo universalis, lit.'universal human')[1] is an individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.

It's almost guaranteed most of these public (alleged) scientists wouldn't be able to solve a random exercise from an elementary book on deep learning assigned on the spot... but they'll still talk at length about it from a position of authority. Same for other subjects. I have graduate knowledge of some topics and wouldn't dare open my mouth on TV to speak about advances in said fields.
