My impression:

there is a second science, that is developed behind closed curtains and 
the official nonsense is for the stupid public.

To keep the general public stupid, there is nonsense produced and hailed 
as greatest achievement of mankind.

To educate the producers of nonsense and to keep the secrets secret, 
there is brainwashing used. This is commonly not called 'brainwashing', 
but 'higher education' in what is called 'university'.

The Voodoo-high-priests of such education carefully select the initiates 
into the 'inner sanctum' (the science behind the curtain), if they are 
smart enough, but not too smart. Also a few courses in witchcraft and 
alchemy are than mandatory. And if the candidate is doing still well, he 
could eventually peep into 'real science'.

If non-selected do similar, they got struck by lightning, sent out by 
the Harry Potters of Cornell.
