Well, that depends. Are you someone who has recognized injustice in a system that’s putting innocent people down and are walking against the grain to call attention to that? Then walk on, you brave soul.

Are you a scientist who has done peer-reviewed and proven science that calls into question what was known before? Then keep on teaching that new science of yours.

Are you a person born into social group A who feels like they’d be a lot more comfortable in group B, even if group A would then antagonize you? Go for it. You’ll find new friends and family in group B.

Are you someone with no expertise in a field preaching that the experts in that field are wrong, with no substantial research or analysis by yourself to back up your claims? Then you need to take a hard look at what direction you’re going in and where it might lead before you continue.
