Also of interest: Tom Nichols, The Death of Expertise: The Campaign against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters (https://www.amazon.com/Death-Expertise-Campaign-Established-...)

For anyone interested to read on the subject of "misguided intellectual egalitarianism":

"The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYCDVHH

Of course, there are some older well known books touching on this like Hofstadter, etc.

A worthwhile read: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-death-of-experti.... Available from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Expertise-Campaign-Established-....

Of course, there is a difference between "expert" and "expertise". Still, Nichol's book makes an interesting read.
