John, I think yours is the perspective that cuts through the noise. Nothing prevents any free agent from minimizing the noise. However, if such a free agent would ambition to compete with the formalized establishment and servile institutions, he/she would be hard pressed to achieve scientific traction.
The system's meritorious institution doesn't function on brilliance and contribution alone. Perhaps, that is why Perelman and many brilliant scientists chose nobleness over fame and fortune. As for the suppression of brilliant scientific contribution by female scientists, the invisible ceiling remains hard and oppressive. The collective voice of female scientists seem statistically insignificant. Not because male scientists contribute more and best, but probably because they dominate scientific decision making. I think this poses a genuine loss to society and progress. Why do some of us favor the old masters? The pure merit of their work shines brightest. Today I'd like to leave you with the ~1656 Wallis Function. With my modest education, it seems to me an obscure function easily forgotten. However, in its proper context it may hold significance for enabling quantum computing. Perhaps we should endeavor to also become better scientists, not experts in political criticism alone. That may amount to time well spent.
