The government and academia are mostly bureaucrats that go along with the conventional wisdom.
Independent thought doesnt get tied down by bureaucratic organizations.
Its always been like this and always will.
Behind the appearance of boring personalities there are... boring personalities
I hope you’re trolling, for your sake
Boring policy people are almost never thoughtleaders though, you require extraverted traits and populism to become one of those, do presentations at large conferences, that kinda thing.

Academics may know some subtleties better, but not of the real world.
People seem to think that because ChatGPT appears to be intelligent that somehow we are on the cusp of a new AGI world. And that we need to serious thought leaders like George Hotz and other arrogant tech-bros to rescue us. It's just crypto all over again.
The real thought leaders are going to be those in academia, government etc. Boring policy people who know the subtleties of the real world far better.
