There is intellectual freedom if you have enough cash in the bank to last you a lifetime. Then, feel free to offend anyone with your opinions as you cannot die from starvation.

ah, the "gentleman scientists" of whom we hear so much when learning scientific history.

No room for gentlemen scientists when there are plethoras of people out there who will happily crucify you and negate everything you've achieved if you happen to have the slightest social dent in your image.

To be untouchable be openly degenerate & filthy rich.
