"Every society honours its live conformists and its dead troublemakers."- Mignon McLaughlin

Maybe I'm seeing it too one-sidedly, but I have the feeling that the troublemakers, the non-conformists and the rebels are being celebrated a bit more at the moment. (Trump, Elon, RFK, Thiel, Balaji,...) 
I have the feeling that we are in a post-institutional phase. This has positive and negative effects. People are starting to question everything, which in my opinion is a good thing. On the whole, I am a friend of disruption/challenging the status quo and not a friend of the terms "settled science" or "the end of history"
But I also see the danger that science and the "experts" will be fundamentally rejected and we will swing into the other extreme.

 Questioning authority and challenging norms can lead to progress, but we need to be cautious not to completely reject expertise and science. Striking a balance is key
