It's this idea that "lived experience" is more important than expertise. The truth is that it is and it isn't. Take another situation: yes, we should listen to cancer patients talking about their experience, but not at the expense of ignoring oncologists.

It's particularly bad when the "lived experience" is coming from someone who self-diagnosed with the help of Dr Google, which a great many of these Twitter types tend to be. That's when we start getting "I knew I was autistic because I don't like mushrooms" and all this dangerous nonsense.

ETA: comments on that autism post:

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at "all the expertise you've gained on Twitter".

I'm going to disagree here. Experts by experience are frequently used in things like the NHS. There is also a huge amount of criticism of autism charities being run by non-autistics and not representing us. I'm currently involved in a Scottish Government pilot scheme which uses autistic people to run the education and support sessions.

It doesn't mean you rubbish people who are qualified and work in the field but a lot of us have been told what to do our whole lives and want to advocate for ourselves.

I think the oncologist analogy is different since that is a very specialist field.

She's said so many cringey stupid things 😂 We could fill a book with them and send off to her publisher quicker than she could finish her Budget Bollocks tome.

Sorry if anyone's already pointed this out but I just googled "nudge hiss erosion" and the top result is this thread and then Jack's Tweet. So I can only conclude that it must be a maverick phrase used only by the quirkiest of smol pixies.

I have to say I have succumbed to a few ‘buy me a coffee’ or subscribed to a patreon for a couple of months at a time for podcasts I like but I would die of shame before asking strangers for money.

RSM is putting Jack to shame in terms of this at the moment, and you just know Jack is watching jealous. I expect that seeing the “success” means that Jack will start up with the tip jar rattling again v soon.

ETA: I also don’t think it was a coincidence that the wheelchair emoji appeared in Jacks bio while RSM had a GFM for one going.
