Thank you for your thoughtful comment! That is also my thinking per the quote you shared and most wholeheartedly agree with you on that front. Science and scientists and priests and sages should remain as counselors of a body of governmental institutions whose focus is society, its well-being and stability.
Regarding Science and how to save it. First thing in my mind is to start doing Science outside of the approved institutions. Old-style messy science, basic scientific method shared with kids and lay people in everyday things, like cooking, gardening and the crafts. On another more robust front, I think the parts of Science that are going to survive will have to tie in one way or another to spirituality, alternative medicine, architecture and basic engineering --things that would be useful on a declining and post decline age.
