Yeah. Look where this got Galileo. House arrest for the rest of his life. Bad call Galileo, you should have paid better attention to social cues! /s

Well... Copernicus did take a cue, he wrote his book and ideas and only published them when he was about to die (or postmortem I don't remember/can't lookup the details rn)

The world needs more milquetoasts like Copernicus and less tall poppies like Galileo! /s
