Aprops everything.
The illusion of concensus in science is created by institutions and governments threatening the livelihood of dissident scientists. Compared to contemporary American science, Lysenko and the Soviet Union were amateurs at this tactic. We don't even need a gulag.

The dissidents and critical thinkers (no difference) are the people who make progress for humanity.
