I'm not qualified to adjudicate this, but I would point out that painting yourself as revealing a conspiracy doesn't do you any favors IMO.
Edit: downvote me all you like, but at least be accurate. I'm referring to the title of the tech talk video linked several times in this thread: "The Quantum Conspiracy: What Popularizers of QM Don't Want You to Know"
- bjelkeman-again 10y agoThere was no conspiracy mentioned. Just people disagreeing about a hard subject.
- andrewflnr 10y agoThere is no conspiracy described in GP, only human politics as usual.
- lisper 10y agoYou obviously didn't watch even the first minute of the talk because the very first thing I say is that the title is tongue-in-cheek and there is no conspiracy.
- jasonwatkinspdx 10y agoI did, though it's been several years. Making an inflammatory statement, then denying it as a joke is a common mild double bind, one that's best avoided. I'm not speaking toward your intentions as I obviously don't know them. I'm just pointing out that particular rhetorical form isn't doing you any favors, again, IMO.
- lisper 10y agoI prefer to think of it as a marketing strategy. And I think it has actually been fairly effective. That video has had over a million views.
