The prize is a bit of pop culture anti-intellectualism bullshit.
I've used one of the famous former winners ("Psychoacoustics of a chilling sound") with relation to work. Solid paper studying real phenomenon.
- feoren 6y agoWhat? In what way is the prize anti-intellectual? They're celebrating real science being done in fringe or curious areas. Aren't most/all of their winners "solid papers studying real phenomena"?
- etbebl 6y agoAnti-intellectual? I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously as a statement about science. It's just a bit of fun.
