Freedom of speech, not reach of their personally curated opinions, narrative shaping due to confirmation bias and survivorship bias.

The pro-science crowd seems incapable of providing a proof any given scientist is that important. Same old social politics norms inflate some deflate others and we confirm our survival means we special. Ones education is vacuous prestige given physics applies equally; oh you did the math! Yeah I just tell the computer to do it. Oh you memorized the dialectic of some long dead physicist. Outstanding.

There’s a lot of ego driven banal classist nonsense in tech and science. At the end of the day just meat suits with the same general human condition.
