The expert as a talking head that commands authority for having had access to the hermetic insights of his profession—that is gone.

Totally agree. I think expertise should be about understanding the complexity of any given situation and adapting the knowledge accordingly.

We need to cultivate such expertise, because things are indeed getting more and more complex. "One size fits all" methods will not work.

We need to stop mass produced science. The idea that everyone uses the same physics or chemistry or evolutionary theory must die.

In my opinion, most of the spectacular failures of science have all been about arrogant application of a misformed theory to new domains.

For example. Any domain with a lot of complexity and nuance, sociology but also biology. I disagree with applying blunt theories.

From personal experience, I would also like to warn against the application of sharp theories.
