Exactly!
"Scientists" are wrongly accepting fact-based science fiction ideas as fact.
YOU CAN HAVE THE EARTH, IO IS OURS !
JMO, but "enduring" science fiction might be more accurate. I've no doubt there are many good scientists, quite a few in fact frequent this forum. The way it looks to me is they are in a Catch-22 situation. The PTB within the scientific community have, not in so many words, laid down the rules whereby scientists wanting to maintain their status/position/tenure or "get ahead" have to abide. It may be that only a select "few" are allowed to break the rules - and survive within the system.
While the system may not be broken, it is badly bent, and needs some straightening. Tough duty I suspect, as is most cases of fighting city hall.
