Summary:

From Google Translate: "Of course, the question arises here as to why it is important whether someone is active at a university, if it is about content. This is precisely the exciting question to distinguish between science and pseudoscience. In science it is indeed unimportant whether the author has a clue or whether he is acquainted with someone who enjoys the trust. A scientific text is generally self-explanatory, either the subject has been edited or not. But apparently the current publication system works according to another model. Obviously, the quality of scientific research is measured according to the author's name, according to the journal where it was published and the university, while the actual content does not matter.

This is particularly tragic in subjects that are important for the future, such as computer science, mathematics, biology, etc. The question is why does the science system scramble to 99% of the world's population and does not allow them to participate in scientific discourse? The answer is not quite simple, presumably it has something to do with a quotation, which is attributed to the philosopher Francis Bacon: 'Knowledge is power'."
