I think it's been like this for thousands of years. The forefront of human knowledge has not been advanced by everybody all doing their bit. It was by a vanishingly tiny number of super-intellects, plus a much bigger (but still small) group of experts and deep thinkers who help carry and refine and expand those ideas. I would say most people don't have the capability to usefully contribute to the complicated problems of today. The good thing is that those who do are inclined to share it with the rest of us because they can't do that in isolation either, and are dependent on the blood and sweat of others too.
