Imo, the unknown is infinite compared to the known. Many in academia are stuck in a narrow bandwidth of knowledge & only believe what others have taught them or what others have written. Some of the greatest inventors/philosophers throughout history had no formal education. 2 brothers in a bicycle shop made the 1st airplane, while Naval architects of the time couldn't figure it out. Many people are taught that deflation/stagflation can cause economic downturns, when they are just symptoms of economic downturns. Also, many people are taught that oil is non-renewable, even though its the excrement of bacteria.
