1/ Over the years, I worked for several universities in the Netherlands, in Australia, in Switzerland. I must have had around 100-200 colleagues. We had loads of labfun and discussed extensively. We debated science, non-science, science politics, how academia was run, etc.
2/ We realized that skeptical and critical thinking was the only way for science to progress. We realized that science should be free of dogma and ideology. We understood the importance of Huxley's famous words: "Science commits suicide when its adopts a creed."
3/ Early 2020, I realized our politicians posed pseudoscience masquaraded as science upon us. The misinformation on viruses, genetics, RT-PCR, statistics... I found it appaling. The political fear mongering in the name of science...it was disgusting. A bad Hollywood movie.
4/ I firmly believed my former colleagues would share my views.
Where are they?
