It's actually pretty common for extremely intelligent, methodical scientists in one field to have somewhat bananas thoughts/opinions in unrelated fields.
- Retric 3y agoNobody is going to be completely correct across the full breath of human knowledge. However, people can be wrong without their ideas being crazy. If I was going to pick my most controversial idea it would be something like, humanity was like a ring species going back thousands of years with people somewhat regularly crossing the Baring Sea without realizing anything particularly unusual was going on. That’s a somewhat wacky idea because diseases didn’t make the jump etc. But it’s wildly more reasonable than ancient aliens. So as long as we are talking crazy rather than simply incorrect, crazy isn’t evenly distributed.
