#9  Let us start with renaming the word Scientists.
Prior to the 1700s the field was called "Natural Philosophy". It is ironic that Science was adopted by researchers in the fields that required numbers (Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy) and repeatable rigor (Medicine, Biology) wanted to distance themselves from ---you know --- Philosophers and Theologians. And now we have fields like "Climate Studies" that depend on unreproducible computer models that depend on "97% Consensus" for their validation.

Let us start with renaming the word Scientists.

Because it seems a growing number of Scientists today have acquired little real knowledge. An just make up discoveries for their claimed field of expertise as they go along.
Milk it for a Meal Ticket and PC Political Agenda reasons.

Maybe "Mediaists"?
