Far from me to tell you what to do, but you're talking to a 911-truther, anti-vaccination guy that thinks the root cause of depression is a bad diet.

Tread lightly.

I believe that ideas stand on their own merits.  Newton had plenty of whacky ideas, and he might have written more about religion than about physics.  I am a surfer and a physicist, so I feel like I understood the literal meaning of the phrase.  I do understand a certain inertia of meaning, where my assumptions about meaning go unchallenged.  And new experiences do feel very much like riding a wave  Smile
