The journal, Foreign Affairs, recently republished a lengthy 2017 article, "How America Lost Faith in Expertise: And Why That's a Giant Problem" -- presumably because the problem has only gotten worse in the intervening two years. LINK
It has been posted, in two parts, within "Articles and Large Posts". It spans blatant lies, conspiracy theories, Dunning-Kruger... all the good stuff (think Princess Bride, with 'pirates, a giant, sword fights, an evil prince..."). I'm including this pointer because sometimes the larger articles seem harder to find, since they don't get stored by specific topic; nature of the beast.
As noted, it is a very lengthy article (hence two parts, since it goes beyond the site's limits for individual post length). As such, I fear that those who would benefit most from reading it are the least likely to do so.
