There is professional distortion? Of course there is, how there is deformation related to any aspect of the environment, in special cultural. I am not afraid to say that I am full of professional deformities. Good luck with the people around me, that attract my attention. And when it comes to research people, who believe in research, highly appreciates creativity and critical spirit. Sure, the school here and everywhere else doesn't give a damn about something like that, although these should be much more important than memorization.
Related to this, I remember a colleague once, a lab worker who had big problems with spelling, who at one point told me yes, you have ideas to go big with them. Beyond offense, this shows what people's vision is about what it means to be creative. Not, you don't have to worry if this is your job. It's like pretending to be a shoemaker and know how to make boots or closer to evolution, that you are a blacksmith in the 18th century and you have muscles. That's what you're supposed to have, the misery is, then you have nothing to look for there. But that is another problem of our world, that people do jobs in which they have nothing to look for. But if you are a researcher and say you have a scientific hypothesis, then it is logical that you are not allowed to be anything other than creative, with a memory of a female elephant and a great passion to know about that subject. As if it wasn't, it would not be told. But that's not praise, it's no more than having any other quality that helps you make a profession. And do it for good.
Don't give up, you don't have to. Especially when you are more and more convinced that these are not even considered great human qualities. Most people are superficial, he doesn't care about that. And the few who are interested, you don't need to show them anything, because if I already know you, he wouldn't be surprised by many things you would do. My friends wouldn't like me more if I had any new ideas, and the neighbors would not despise me any less. He cares about the person who broke the antenna from my car because I parked in my place at the town hall, give your consideration to him? I'm still a monkey for him, as he told me. Why do I keep talking about fulfilled predictions?? Not for a second did I imagine that this could be considered a lack of modesty. I never thought for a second that I could impress anyone with this, if he is not...a lawyer. In the conditions where the first takes everything, you have nothing else to do but to show that you were the first. And in the conditions in which you have already been the victim of intellectual theft. I think of those to whom I say all this as witnesses, not like admirers or spectators. Let's face it, I don't even do it with my colleagues anymore. Now I go to congresses (when I was leaving, now there is no more money) to meet people, to know more about them, I almost don't feel like talking about my ideas anymore. I saw how much interest there is, and so it was during Darwin's time. Success is in any field, primarily social. The factor that prevented me from being very successful until now was social ignorance. Besides the lack of any outside support.
