I don't know. If said in an academic context, encouraging students to think for themselves and critically appraise everything they are told, this sounds reasonable enough. However, in recent years I have heard numerous populists tell me "Don't trust the experts" with no good intention. They erode public trust in professional knowledge and substitute nothing in its place.

@SunshineGirl The populists want everyone to distrust everyone except the populists.

@SunshineGirl I think this is a real existential problem we are facing.
