Needed: A new sub-subforum: "Skepticism, Pseudoscience & Just Plain Bat Shit Crazy"
February 15, 2015 at 2:29 pm
I hate to complain, but there have been some threads in the "Skepticism & Pseudoscience" sub forum which have tarnished the good name of Pseudoscience.
Ask yourself this: does intuitional science really rise to the level of a bonafide pseudoscience? It is at best 10% science and 90% pseudo.
The proponents of bat-shit crazy deserve a forum where they don't have to be judged by the standards of pseudo-anything. There was once a poster here who who tried his best to dress his crazy up to appeal to those inclined toward science. I say he deserves more from us, something 'special'.

We don't need batshit crazy we have it covered in the Christian and Muslim threads.

I would like to see a sub-forum on economics

How do skepticism and pseudoscience go together anyway?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Probably just the appropriate stance toward pseudoscience?
I find that kind of "science" very easy to do. It's amazing what you can prove in just five minutes.
