People working together can’t be beaten. If you were on your own, you couldn’t possibly find out all that humanity has found. I think the grudge people have against science is that they think people who want to think on their own think they are ‘stars’ and better than everybody else. We need to push everyone together forward and not let certain individuals do whatever they wish. This is what democracy is about.
As a final argument to the person who thinks “but I want to do whatever I wish”: the probability of you being the person who can do what you wish is really slim.
