An Academic Expert means: (a) holding a higher degree in a discipline; (b) possessing extensive teaching and lecturing experience—including repetition and recapitulation of knowledge; (c) having substantive literature ranging from classical works to the latest scholarship; and (d) demonstrating strong research, primarily through reputable publications.

When evaluating, I strongly suggest respecting and being sensitive to the different disciplines and diverse perspectives. It should be open-minded, flexible, and accommodating. Otherwise, it would be inconsiderate and unfair—the worst would be scholarly tyranny (i.e., imposing something you do not understand).

I am an academic and intellectual, not a politician or theologian. I argue based on rationale and reasonable justifications rather than simply accepting dogma. If they think I am wrong, then prove me, and I will listen; this is the essence of being a scholar.

Ang matalino discusses ideas and events; ang less matalino primarily discusses people’s gossip. There is substantive literature, from Socrates to Nikola Tesla to the present day (Brillo 2018, 2024 [message and lecture]).😊
If I concur with you and provide preferential treatment, it will undermine me (Brillo 2024 [message and lecture]).
Scholarship
Always remember that teaching and research take the highest precedence in scholarship. Other aspects are essential but considered subordinate (Brillo 2023, 2024, 2025 [message and lecture]).

You can only prolong, but not ignore. You can only delay, but not stop.
