Itโs a similar feeling from being in a community of punk rockers as a teenager and the feeling I still get today when Iโm in a community of skeptical scientists. The idea with both is that you challenge authority, you challenge the dogma. You challenge the doctrine in order to make progress. The thrill of science is the process. Itโs a social process.
