Science is not being advanced by disproving crackpots. It's a waste of precious resource better spent elsewhere.

- taeric 9y agoYou'd be surprised. :)
- varjag 9y agoDon't think I would.
- colordrops 9y agoWhat's your definition of a crackpot? Someone who researches something varjag has a negative emotion towards?
- varjag 9y agoSomeone who maintains something is true while lacking any evidence of that. There's an infinity of possible untrue statements, but only finite amount of research resource. Disproving every crackpot theory doesn't advance actual science one tiny bit.
