One other important consideration...
By stating that we're sick of experts the author implies that we don't trust them. It's important to recognize that there are two sides to trust.
1) are they competent
2) do they have integrity
Many of the examples in the article are failures of integrity, not failures of competence (Wall Street investors, Facebook, etc.).
This suggests that the core issue may be lack of ethics/morals rather than lack of expertise.
