I think modern science has become somewhat of a cult and public schools are a propaganda arm. You're not being taught to be curious you're being taught to obey and repeat.
regurgitation is the key.
How accurate one can spew back the propaganda,
also a measure for state of cult.
This is Pinocchio when he goes to school and he turns into a braying donkey. Scientists are like prequal Jedi, priestly class(however well meaning) who brainwash children into clones.
and rewarded accordingly (rising thru ranks) for number of clones created.
No I think it's deeper than that. They didn't mean to do it, it just happened as a result of their fear of losing the "arbiter of truth" status.
once clones all meaning for 'self' disappears, authority of self handed over to a 'body' of authority.
Meaning is misconstrued during that process.
