I presume the same applies to the myths of science...

"The term logos, the root word of "logic," refers to the sum total of
our rational understanding of the world. Mythos is the sum total of
the early historic and prehistoric myths which preceded the logos.
The mythos includes not only the Greek myths but the Old Testament,
the Vedic Hymns and the early legends of all cultures which have
contributed to our present world understanding. The mythos-over-logos
argument states that our rationality is shaped by these legends, that
our knowledge today is in relation to these legends as a tree is in
relation to the little shrub it once was. One can gain great insights
into the complex overall structure of the tree by studying the much
simpler shape of the shrub. There's no difference in kind or even
difference in identity, only a difference in size." (ZMM)
"Myths of science" is just bad rhetoric. You should ask "I presume
the same applies to the Logos as to the Mythos", and my answer is "of
course, due to the inescapable connection between the two". No single
painting created by the Logos is capable of representing the Void.
The narratives of the Logos are also fingers pointing at the Void, as
Pirsig himself testified about the MOQ.

... and so called "critical thinking" taught by academics.

Boring.
