Great clip < 2minutes on "what is Science" by Allen Savory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGDbpg1nG8Y Science breakthroughs do not come from academia(peer review) but science comes from those on the fringes. PS. Proud member of a Fringe minority.

What Is science? People talk glibbery about science. What Is science?
People coming out of a univerisity with a masterdegree or PhD and when you take them into the field, and they letterly don't believe anything if it is not in a peer-reviewed paper. That is the only thing they accept. And when you say something: let's observe, let's think, let's discuss, they don't do it!
They say: "Is it in a peer-review or not?" That is their view of science. I think that is pathetic!
They go into universities as bright young people and come out of it brain dead, not even knowing what science means. They think it means pear-reviewed papers etc, no! That is academia. And if a paper is peer-reviewed, it means everybody thought the same before they approved it.
An unintended consequence is that when new knowledge emerges, new scientific insights, they can never ever be peer-reviewed. So we are blocking all new advances in science, that are big advances.
If you look back to the breakthroughs in science, almost always the don't come from the centre of that profession, they come from the fringe.
The finest candlemakers in the world couldn't even think of electric lights. They don't come from within, the offers come from the outside the breaks.
Totally agree with you! The greatest inventions and novel solutions come from "thinking outside the box" so to speak. We need more critical and analytical thinkers in this world not less and sadly have lost over a generation of people with the ability to do this!
