He's not a fractally wrong star-child or bombastic ideologue; he seems to respond to criticism in a considered way. I don't agree with some of the stuff he's said recently, but I believe he is a rational being and, like me, his opinions change with new information.<br /><br />Will you include James Randi on here for his short lived views on climate change?<br /><br />Will you include every Ron Paul Supporter on here?<br />Scratch that, Paulbots are mental!<br /><br />Actually, have you done Ron Paul yet? Now there's a real loon! :)Pedrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516024643685262774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-10391107012131986312013-02-27T19:40:44.405-05:002013-02-27T19:40:44.405-05:00He's still a jerk, though, and not terribly fu...He's still a jerk, though, and not terribly funny nor very intelligent.mcthfghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472207696383872047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-85216221315894760362013-02-27T15:26:48.206-05:002013-02-27T15:26:48.206-05:00I'm glad he responded and I'm glad that yo...I'm glad he responded and I'm glad that you're updating. I've been reading Scott's blog/newsletter/etc for almost 10 years now. He constantly puts out "thought experiments" that aren't meant to be taken literally. More than that, he is constantly reminding his readers that he has no special expertise in most topics. <br /><br />There are a million "loons" that don't end up on your list - I presume you only include people that are public figures that are trying to propagandize a loony point of view. I don't think Scott is trying to propagandize anything, he's just trying to get people to think. And I think that's a good thing!steve02476https://www.blogger.com/profile/16802396883873217162noreply@blogger.com
