There is a paradox of competence at play regarding the social dynamics of increasing the awareness of any issue.
Experts find something that require awareness in order to induce policy change.
Experts require large social following in order to raise awareness
Social following will not be competent in the topic at hand, will need to just trust that the experts are right
With increased awareness, the oppositions create their own social forces to counter the initial social movement
The public incompetence increases as more people get involved
The original awareness has lost its way and will focus instead on competing the the opposition force
This social dynamic reduces down to “how to attract followers” for any topic, and the topic itself becomes irrelevant.
If anyone can think of a solution to this paradox, I will be forever grateful. I personally can’t. I have spent a couple of years on this already.
