My review mostly concerns the SMTM’s A Chemical Hunger part of this review. RaDVaC was interesting if not particularly useful, but SMTM’s series has been noted by many commenters to be a strange theory, possibly damaging, and there were, as of my last check, no response by SMTM to the various rebuttals.
It does not behoove rationalism to have members that do not respond to critical looks at their theories. They stand to do a lot of damage and cost a lot of lives if taken seriously.
