Setting aside the many individuals who currently lead their fields, history is filled with groundbreaking heretics.

- WendyTheWillow 3y agoHistory is filled with many more plain ol’ heretics however, and we’re exceptionally bad at telling the difference in the meantime. You, most importantly, are complete garbage at telling the difference between a crackpot and an innovator in a field you know nothing about. Trying to drink unpasteurized knowledge will infect you a lot more quickly than it will enlighten you.
- CaptWillard 3y agoI'd say that I regret engaging with you, but that last line is golden. It's not censorship, propaganda and official disinformation, it's "Pasteurized Knowledge®"
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoBut that's the problem; you falsely believe you're capable of differentiating between propaganda and quality. You're not, on topics of which you are not an expert. That's what flat-eartherism is, that's what jewish space lasers are. The argument you're giving is a tacit endorsement of that kind of "inquiry", which for reasonable people is unconscionable.
