## Resource

Hawk takes on one of the strangest features of social media: people with no relevant training confidently telling actual experts they have no idea what they are talking about. He compares the wave of Covid era commenters who lectured immunologists, doctors, and researchers to the reaction he now gets on his videos about the Lindsay Clancy trial, where commenters with no legal background insist they understand jury trials and courtroom procedure better than someone who practiced law for decades.
