“The amount of energy necessary to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.”
i think this is false, and is an indication of using the wrong methods to refute bullshit – the right methods reuse refutations of categories of bad ideas. do you have some comprehensive argument that it must be true?
i find it disturbing how much people here are in favor of judging ideas by sources instead of content – credentialism. that’s pretty pure irrationality. also debating which credentials are worth how much is a bad way to approach discussions, but it’s totally non-obvious and controversial which credentials are how good even for standard credentials like PhDs from different universities.
