All radical new ideas seem to be ridiculed.
- bombcar 2y agoIf your idea can’t survive being ridiculed INGMI. What’s amusing is how often the ridiculous name sticks (big bang, yankee, etc).
- Retric 2y agoUnfortunately that’s not a useful heuristic. Most radical new ideas are wildly incorrect, only a minuscule fraction are actually real advances.
- rdtsc 2y agoGood point, but I think radical ideas that end up being eventually accepted, and also ending up taking the name the opponents give them, sometimes as ridicule, are notable.
