People talk glibbery about terms what is science? People coming out of University with a Master's degree or a PhD, you take them into the field, and they, they literally don't believe anything. And this is a peer reviewed paper, the only thing they accept and you say to observe let's think, let's discuss that and do it. Just visiting the peer reviewed paper the view of science I think is pathetic. Born into universities, as bright young people, they come out of the brain dead, not even knowing what science means.
They think it means peer reviewed papers, etc. No, that's academia. And if a paper is peer reviewed, it means everybody fought the same therefore they approved it. An unintended consequence is that when new knowledge emerges, new scientific insights they can never, ever be peer reviewed. So we're blocking all new advances. In science, there are big advances. If you look at the breakthroughs in science, almost always they don't come from the center of that profession. They come from the from the finest candle makers in the world couldn't even think of electric lights. They don't come from within that often come from outside for breaks. We're going to kill ourselves because of stupidity.
