I see that my comment could be interpreted that way. There is a quote by George William Russel that corresponds more to what I think:
Our theory, which we have often put forward, is that experts ought to be on tap and not on top. We have had during our career a long and intimate knowledge of experts, most interesting men in their own speciality to which they have devoted themselves with great industry and zeal. But outside this special knowledge they are generally as foolish and ignorant as any person one could pick up in the street, with no broad knowledge of society or the general principles of legislation.
We as a civilization have put the experts on top of everything and the mess is huge.
I think a lot about saving science, but I see that science as an institution is terribly bad shape. I wouldn't know where to start. If you have an idea, I'd love to hear it.
