There seems to be a bias towards college experts/graduates in their opinions in the academic/scientific establishment, even when those experts make flawed arguments using faulty logic. What I'm trying to say is that college professors, staff or PHD's seem to have a bias towards individuals who perform their research outside of college or institutional authority or approval. It's like some of them and even public/private/charter school teachers and staff expect you to go to college if you are endeavoring to commit to your own individual or collective research with other scientists, and it's seems that they only give value to your opinions if they come from college professors/researchers with credentials and awards, and if you don't want to spend a half decade of your life of in a college than your research and opinions doesn't matter. If a college expert x with a lot of support but little knowledge of person y's research, even when person y's research is supported by other scientists/academics, person x's opinion's will almost always be supported by the majority because their ideas are given value while person y's isn't. It seems that the masses worship experts so much, that most of them think that there isn't any thing new to discover because said expert claimed as such. It seems in this "modern" civilization opinions are bestowed value and inquiry isn't, it seems that opinions matter and curiosity doesn't, it seems opinions of experts and authorities who are revered, respected and worshipped matter, and scientific investigation does not. Does anyone else think this? I am curious.
