It's been a rough time for experts working in institutions. But professional precarity may open new paths for personal agency -- and improve public knowledge along the way.
Thank you — I really appreciate your note and am glad the framing resonated. You’re onto something re: the timing with declining institutional trust alongside growing access to tools for individual trust-building.
It will be interesting to see how current shifts in work and authority play out for people who built their careers within institutional environments. It’s understandably unsettling for many people who invested so much in these roles in service of the public good. But I think there’s also real opportunity to help them extend their impact beyond those structures.
