Knowledge being the key to power, I can’t say I’m inherantly against it (though power in and of itself is a risk).

The problem of course is, generally speaking… all fields run as a business under capitalism, and thus the top of them is generally the person who runs the business side.

IE I would love for knowledgable doctors to be in charge of healthcare decisions… unfortunately in practice what we get is hospital CEOs, health insurance executives etc… That specialize in how to help extract money from sick people… and not prioritize helping people not get sick, and making sure everyone can be treated if they are.
