I seems to be the heretics who lead the way to both heaven & hell - both through the known and the unknown.

It's orthodoxy that moves up the relative safety of the rear.  This is the natural way of the majority.  Those who lead the majority oppose the heretic.

“I was thrown out of my research group.
They said I brought shame on them with what I was saying.”
