Ok. That's a good one! Science.

This one is actionable in much the same way as academia is. It requires at least a half-decade commitment to becoming a scientist or academic. Unless there are other thoughts on this. Is there room for citizen scientists? What would a citizen scientist do? What would that look like?

Citizen Scientist are Amateurs. They pursue science as interest or obsession and do scary things like building nuclear reactors in their garage.
Or, in the the Wright Brother, aeroplanes.
Unfortunately, the age of the moneyed dilettante are over. Most of these scientists don't have the money or time to pursue their obsession.

Religion/Churches
Dennis Prager makes the point that leftism - not “liberalism,” he insists on a distinction between the two - is an actual evil. Leftism wars against gratitude, and thus against happiness (since there’s no such thing as a happy ingrate). “Woke” churches have a truth problem, and therefore are vulnerable to pressure from lovers of wisdom.
