Trying radical ideas does not equate turning off your critical thinking.
Also, if you are the one with radical idea, do not look for a group of people that will approve anything. It is pretty poor way to test your idea.

Oh, let me think about it. Pay couple thousand to skip couple of hours of interview to get a job that pays many times more per month.
Definitely nobody will want to exploit that.
- peripitea 5y agoI am (and presumably the people who created and funded this are) capable of critical thinking, and I don't share your judgment. Maybe you're right; maybe I'm right. Either way, your confidence is epistemically unjustified. That is why these ideas need room to breathe.
