There are not many of those, because of herd mentality. (Edit: I mean Normalcy Bias, thanks "notabee")
If a person is unusual enough, they are dismissed as cranks without any sort of proof required.
- Cupertino95014 3y agoThis isn't even a response to anything. notabee held up one example, which is relevant only if the argument was "everyone who challenges the norms is insane." That would be a counterexample, and only one is required. as for "There are not many of those" I don't even know what to say. Of course those people were forgotten and there are no citations, because they weren't newsworthy. That was the whole point.
