I still adhere to scientific principles — more than anything else. I believe science is the best enquiry humans have come up with to discover the world. my problem is the culture of academia and how science degenerates through it.

Engineering are perhaps the only solid fields due to direct application.

If the institutions of science were abandoned or destroyed, that progress would slow or stop.

It can never stop. Garage scientists all over the world have created more things than the entire academia combined.
