What an inspiration! I love your views and perspectives on issues regarding knowledge creation. For me in my academic settings, it would be really interesting to define, e.g. your "public" as "taxpayers", sometimes "students in class", "people attending my talk", or maybe "people reading my posts and articles", also the term "real world" you mentioned earlier on maybe as "world outside of university", or "outside library/laboratory", or "in the forest" or "in the city"... <3
