Megacity
Megacity main site and the particular article that was recommended to me, Genius versus Academia
A couple of quotations from the site are instructive.
In short, academia has arrogated a position which it is not necessarily able or entitled to fill, and may in the process be disseminating misinformation and misleading the public.
...an alternate channel of communication must be maintained for the use of those who find themselves, despite high levels of knowledge and ability, on the wrong side of the academic establishment.
I concur. Political correctness and the need to apply for grants keep academics away from much controversial research. The fellow who sent this information to me found it interesting. You might want to check it out. I intend to -- once all the little duties that make life so tedious at times are done -- the things that interfere with my doing what I really want to do.
