'contempt for expertise and intelligence'
though I concur with your over arching premise I would argue that this is actually a relatively recent development if you consider the 30's recent, which I do, in the greater scheme of things, 'we' are not who we've always been
consider the writings of 'men of letters' in US history and from several decades ago ... the more nuanced scripting of past TV shows
if one was to peruse some of the writings of Charlotte Iserbyt, who I consider to be quite mercenary, there's some insight on either side of the issue
ah well, at least we're looking at the subject, that counts for something
with regards,
