Sorry, my intellectual integrity doesn't allow me to blindly follow the world!

“Intellectual integrity made it quite impossible for me to accept the myths and dogmas of even very great scientists, more particularly of the belligerent and so-called advanced nations. Indeed, those intellectuals who accepted them were abdicating their functions for the joy of feeling themselves at one with the herd.”— Bertrand Russell 1872-1969.
How true!
Most of my articles I write on science, art, science-art and science based art are highly critical of the trends in the field. This is because I refuse to follow the herds and become one amongst them.
I have a mind of my own and I try to critically analyse everything brought before me before accepting it , rejecting it or accepting the good points and rejecting the bad ones in it. That is what every intellectual should do. This might cause friction, but who cares?! If you don't do this and tell the world what is right or what is wrong based on your analyses and accept all the rubbish that is dumped in front of you, what is the difference between you and a layman? 'Literate uneducated ' are good for nothing!
