Are You a Scientist?

The revolutions proposed by the amateurs, they're the ones you don't hear. The idea that we have to encourage people go off on their own er on and challenge the ideas of the expert is simply one which in practice will lead to an enormous amount of waste. If we have a very authoritarian atmosphere iam asure that breeths a hyper respect for the old, established guard of expert, won't that leave to the stifling of creative thought? I'm not choking. There are people with all sorts of nutty ideas. These are ideas which haven't got starting chance of revolutionizing the scientific world.
