> truth-seeking organizations I am unfamiliar with this term, and it gives me pause. If an organization does not seek truth, what does it seek? Also, religions typically consider themselves as guardians and authorities of Truth, and disseminate/preach it through leadership/missionary/evangelization activities. Surely, the seekers of truth are ones who join and follow such paths? In terms of Christianity, "finding the Truth" involves following Jesus and sacrificing our lives to do it. Sure, a televangelist or notable preacher could line his pockets, electroplate his Learjet, and influence politicians, but a follower's "profit" is moral and intangible, in exchange for actual cash, goods, and services we donate freely, or that's not tax-deductible! In terms of universities and science, I'm curious how you became educated in Number Theory without joining a truth-seeking university, picking up truth-seeking textbooks, and hearkening to truth-seeking professors. Science as an industry or career path attracts ordinary people trying to make a living, whether that's in a community college, a four-year, or a prestigious Ivy League or Oxford/Cambridge setting. Certainly, the money, power, and prestige are attractive and draw in followers just the same.
