So many "I f*cking love science!!" types love to (somewhat erroneously, believe it or not) bring up Galileo as a cut and dried, worst case example of dangerous scientific censorship.

Thank goodness - they imply - that we are now so enlightened that this never happens!

And yet when we see scientific censorship happen before us in real, current life, its the proverbial crickets.

Truly, too many have conflated "open-minded enlightenment" with "trusting the approved gatekeepers' narrative".
