Show‑Your‑Work Humanism

Public intellectuals and policy advisers should present arguments with explicit cross‑disciplinary reasoning and evidence, not just technical prescriptions. This 'show your work' norm treats policy recommendations as demonstrable arguments grounded in history, law, and moral reasoning rather than opaque technocratic pronouncements. — If adopted, it would shift expectations for academic and policy credibility, making debates more transparent and potentially restoring public trust in experts.
