The benefits of hindsight. I'm sure in 30 odd years someone will be making the same comments about our current hoaxes.

  And we will have new hoaxes by then. The embarrassing part is that we can identify many of them already, before the historical consensus catches on.

    That's the whole thing about consensus tho, it's hardly embarrassing
  • Teever 10mo ago
    Do you have any examples of these easily identifiable contemporary hoaxes?

      Are there any areas in which you'd feel attacked if I poined out a hoax?
      • Teever 10mo ago
        Not at all. I enjoy the subject of conspiracies and hoaxes without holding a strong personal affinity towards any particular one.
