You're luckier than most, not just because you're solid in the latter, but also because you can admit the former. IMO, there's too much certainty in the world and too much of that is coming from "authorities" closing down any room for discovery.

Wholeheartedly agree with your last sentences... maybe with the first one too. I have a love-hate relationship with academics and experts because the academy tends to shut down non-sanctioned exploration.

Indeed, and the more power they accumulate the more hypocrisy they utilize to protect and obfuscate it. Like a minimum wage, I'd bet if there was a maximum wage, we'd see a lot less of this and less corruption of the sciences and academics (and a hole lot of new loop hole corruption trying to work around the maximum). I can dream.
