A gadfly review by Bob Brow. They are the hermetically isolated elite who live by processing information. This is a Jesuit type of priesthood who are highly trained in creating logical systems which have nothing much to do with the realities they profess to manipulate.
Experts are people who insulate themselves from the nitty gritty lives of ordinary people.
By snowing us with information that we cannot digest or question, and by maintaining rigid secrecy concerning the outcome of their massive mistakes we are cowed into submission. Even the fields of literature and the arts have succumbed to processing by experts. By the end of the book I realized that in theology this tyranny is as pernicious as everywhere else. Frankly I would never have bothered with such a book if I hadn't heard that John Saul had recently got married to Adrienne Clarkson in the Anglican church of St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto. This was properly required so she could take up her duties as Governor General of Canada.
