Seriously, it feels like being Socrates in his time where his beliefs were considered a threat to the state. Or Copernicus and Galileo's discoveries being considered "heretical" to the church.

These men were that tiny fringe portion of the populous who had uncovered this unknown knowledge for the first time that very few people knew or understood. They were seeing their theories and understandings of reality unfold before them repeatedly under the nose of the ignorant masses.

TRP and its principles have a very similar dynamic. We're seeing everything unfold and as you say witnessing these theories "humming away like clockwork" while TBP masses stand on the sidelines and shout "misogynist" "woman hater" and other things; much like the Athenian court condemning Socrates or those who followed the church condemning scientific discoveries in the enlightenment.
