" Wertheim's entire thesis in this article is that we shouldn't dismiss cranks like Carter (and, I infer, Simoncini, Clark, Young, and Milgrom) because:

- There are quite a lot of them (argumentum ad populum)
- Math is really hard.
- Learning the necessary background knowledge to do modern science is also really hard.
- Science is complicated; so there must be something wrong with it
- Science is a religion that should be available to all, just as Martin Luther wanted Christianity to be available to all through his translation of the Bible.
- Outsider scientists feel "alienated" by scientific explanations and science as practiced. "

" Known throughout the community for his verbal outbursts and his shopping cart full of trash, area street denizen "Cosmic Stan" must have studied advanced physics at some point, sources reported Monday. "

If you're so sure you're right that you don't need evidence, you're likely a crank, not a trailblazer.

Parody of people educated in nothing but computers? Governance one would expect from hacker revolution? Demented, credulous conspiracy theory with a touch of anti-Jewish sentiment? You decide.

" America needs a “Day of Rage” to be instituted on June 30, 2011 in Washington D.C. whereby the White House is surrounded by millions of Americans that take these political criminals into custody to be turned over the World Court to be tried. "

" I do not trust government to exercise restraint with regard to any prerogative its illegally seizes upon. This is the road to fascism, tyranny and serfdom. Those who support, authorize or commit torture should be executed as war criminals and The People do not need authorization to oppose such a government, as each man ought to act within the dictates of conscience.

" Please read about our Day of Rage in Washington D.C. on June 30, 2011. I ask that true patriots refresh the tree of liberty. "

Meanwhile that day, IEET appoints this person as a Fellow.
"Ayesha is on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Lifeboat Foundation "

The Lifeboat Foundation adds hate nut Pamela Geller to its board and turns out to be a weird Ayn Rand front for opposing the "religion of science".

" Oh, well. I'll make my own predictions. Magazines will continue to praise Kurzweil's techno-religion in sporadic bursts, and followers will continue to gullibly accept what he says because it is what they wish would happen. Kurzweil will die while brain-uploading and immortality are still vague dreams; he will be frozen in liquid nitrogen, which will so thoroughly disrupt his cells that even if we discover how to cure whatever kills him, there will be no hope of recovering the mind and personality of Kurzweil from the scrambled chaos of his dead brain. "

" "I don't even know if you understand what conservatives are anymore, Billy," Beck said in his extended, sarcastic attack on Kristol. "People like Bill Kristol, I don't think they stand for anything any more. All they stand for is power. They'll do anything to keep their little fiefdom together, and they'll do anything to keep the Republican power entrenched." "

Beck, the John Birch Society, and Welch

For the next time Horowitz comes to UC Irvine. Horowitz: " What he should not be doing as a conservative leader is demonizing Glenn Beck, who has done more to educate Americans about the unholy alliance between the secular left and the Islamic jihadists than anyone else. "

" But hysteria is not a sign of health. When Glenn Beck rants about the caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left, he brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society. He’s marginalizing himself, just as his predecessors did back in the early 1960s. "

" The human sociocybernetic systems operate in the nature, as defined by human laws and bureaucracy. The laws of nature are however not compatible with the laws of man. This can be used as a method to inject code into the systems and to erect sociocybernetic systems that operates outside of human laws. It is possible to identify flaws in the theories and protocols used by the nation states, corporations and organizations. These flaws can be exploited via the creation of communication protocols, lobbyism and direct action in order to introduce desired changes in the systems. Agents carrying in-vivo codes can infiltrate the governments, as well as trade unions. Each injection or change of already existing code in the bureaucratic ecosystems results in autoimmune responses from the system to manifest. This defence mechanism of the human society can be subjugated with lobbyism, distributed signals intelligence and volontary espionage in the form of leaked government and corporation documents. Protection of information and the availability of methods to communicate over secure channels are crucial when hacking the codes of the sociocybernetic organisms. "

" In this way, Žižek's allegedly progressive thought leads directly into a pit of moral and intellectual squalor. "

Meet the Mumia Abu-Jamal of the animal rights movement. " Walter’s dedication to animal liberation and effectively communicating such passion is not only admirable but also heavily influential, therefore his addition is integral. Moreover, Walter is the first Press Officer to be currently imprisoned for animal liberation. "

" While he doesn’t have the standing within the conservative community – or near the number of listeners -- that Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Michael Savage has, Fischer is rapidly ascending the ladder of hate-charged kookiness. As might be expected, the weirder Fischer gets, the more mainstream media coverage he garners. "

Bryan Fisher: " The secularist wants to excuse and even reward irresponsibility, which eventually makes everybody less safe and less prosperous. A Christian worldview rewards responsibility and stresses individual responsibility and accountability, which in the end makes everybody more safe and more prosperous. "

" So how did Fischer respond? By writing a new post accusing the SPLC of engaging in the "propagation of known falsehoods" about homosexuality ... and simply restating the very same points that the SPLC had already debunked: "

" One would think that D’Souza could provide some textual support for these claims regarding Obama’s worldview, leaving aside their alleged provenance in mid-century Kenya. He does not. Instead, he has the gall to present the absence of evidence as evidence. "

" When you enter the vaccine-thicket, one thing you can rely upon is that experts will be vilified. To the extent you attempt, with thorough reporting, independent research and cogent analysis, to become something of an expert yourself, you likely will be labeled a villain, too. "

" Even worse, it is an assault on democracy itself. Arundhati Roy’s status as a famous woman of the far left has obscured the fact that she is an outright reactionary. "

" All these things are true. And all these things are enormous outrages and significant problems. It's just that they are not the same outrage or the same problem. And Naomi Klein's relentless lumping together of all her ideological adversaries in the service of a monocausal theory of the world ultimately renders her analysis perfect nonsense. "

"
My own skepticism is based on simple comparisons of Kurzweil's claims with what is actually happening in science. ... Actually, the major trend in both neuroscience and genetics over the past decade or two has been the discovery of deeper and deeper levels of complexity, which have thwarted medical applications. "

Consumer alert: The thought screen helmet is not effective against alien-human hybrids.

"This odd little woman is attempting to give a moral sanction to greed and self interest, and to pull it off she must at times indulge in purest Orwellian newspeak of the “freedom is slavery” sort. ... For to justify and extol human greed and egotism is to my mind not only immoral, but evil."

"But this particular tic is revealing, for as two new biographies show, Rand herself lived a life of contempt: for people, for ideas, for government, and for the very concept of human kindness"

"Let's see what MacDonald will say now: The Weekly can reveal that the professor is now partnering with local skinheads and a notorious racist lawyer to create a new political party modeled after England's fascist British National Party, a new party created explicitly to oppose and deport non-whites."

"For years, MacDonald defended his research as apolitical and scientific, but that defense fell apart after the millennium, when MacDonald embarked on a white supremacist speaking tour. Last December, MacDonald dropped the defense altogether and declared his dislike for Jews."

"Clark "trained" dozens of acolytes to use her Syncrometer. Are they really saying that not a single one of them could use her device, which she claimed as part of the "cure for all cancers," to cure her cancer, as she claimed she could cure all cancers?"

" Taitz isn't explicitly accusing Obama of clipping his boyfriends to shut them up. She just wants to make sure I know that a few homosexuals from Obama's church, oddly, mysteriously, ominously, wound up dead. "Now, I don't want to say that Obama did it," explains Orly, in her dense Moldovan accent. "I don't want to say that people close to Obama did it. But those are the facts." "

MSNBC teevee hosts display epic, Fox News-level failure in their flogging of an obvious crank. If you've managed to make a birther nut look like the reasonable party in the interview, you're doing it wrong.

As if "post-abortion syndrome" weren't enough of a crank millstone around the neck of the pro-life movement, now come... the anti-vaccination cranks.

Batshit. Plonking. Crazy. It has a 501(c) organization, but neither a comprehensible definition nor a single academic sociologist. Oh, and he trademarked the term "astrosociology". It's like a bastard hybrid of singularitarian transhumanism, intelligent design institutes, and Time Cube.

Michael Shermer's descent into libertarian crankdom, in his own words. The will to believe is a dangerous thing.

"O'Brien warns that the globalization we are currently experiencing has the unprecedented potential for bringing about a one-world government, with the subsequent dangers to individual and national freedoms."

"He is indeed a powerful manipulator of crowds, even as he appears ever so humble and wholesomely charming. I doubt that he is the long-prophesied ruler of the world, but I also believe that he is a carrier of a deadly moral virus, indeed a kind of anti-apostle spreading concepts and agendas that are not only anti-Christ but anti-human as well."

"A truly groundbreaking document has been leaked onto the internet. The claim is that this 27-page wonder represents a successful $1.5m pitch to make a slight modification to the Pepsi logo. ... "The Pepsi DNA finds its origin in the dynamic of perimeter oscillations”, they explain. There is talk of an “authentic geometry”. “The breathtaking colour palette is derived”, they explain, “using a scientific method of color assignment based on the product’s essence and primary features.” "

"For every Galileo, Ignaz Semmelweis, Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin, Louis Pasteur, etc., whose scientific ideas were either ignored, rejected, or vigorously attacked by the scientific community of his time and then later accepted, there are untold numbers of others whose ideas were either ignored or rejected initially and then were never accepted--and never will be accepted. Why? Because they were wrong! The reason the ideas of Galileo, Semmelweis, Copernicus, Darwin, Pasteur, et al, were ultimately accepted as correct by the scientific community is because they turned out to be correct!"

"Instead of spending time on public debates, why aren't members of your institute publishing their ideas in prominent peer-reviewed journals such as Science, Nature, or the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences?"

Abortion caused the Australia fires: "Nalliah did not demur from recalling the prophetic vision and its message, and he expressed again that God's "conditional protection" has been removed from Australia, and in particular Victoria, for condoning the killing of the unborn."

"Fr. Thomas Euteneuer, president of Human Life International and an exorcist, spoke at a luncheon hosted by In His Sign Network (IHS). He is an exorcist authorized to perform exorcisms in several states, and highlighted the connection between the abortion industry and demonic influence."

"Presenter Art Thompson, CEO of the JBS, said the “war on terror” is a false flag. Really, he said, we are not at war with Islamic extremism, but with the resurgence of the international Communist conspiracy. He ticked off a number of terrorists who, only a decade or two ago, were leftists or actual Soviet operatives, including al-Qaida’s No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, asserting that Zawahiri’s former organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, was actually a Soviet operation"

"Of headline importance, this book will be seen to positively rule out the popular Big Bang model of creation! ... (Researchers opposing Big Bang cosmology are frequently ostracized and refused publication.) An example of this bias would be the author's own experience. During his student days his thesis, "A Revised Concept of Radiation Propagation," was rejected..."

It's also seven reasons why most Americans are not Christian, evidently. Also, the "commission" by all appearances consists of just two men, one of whom no longer participates.

Bill Donohue in top form: "It is insulting to Christians and Jews to dilute their long-standing holidays in a country founded on Judeo-Christian principles by turning public areas into a junk-yard clutter of cultural artifacts, and that is why only the nativity scene and the menorah should be allowed in the same place at this time of the year."

"It is clear, in “The Shock Doctrine,” just how deeply [Naomi Klein] disdains the political. She tends to conflate very different right-wing groups—neoconservatives, crony capitalists, libertarians. (In the end, “The Shock Doctrine” is not so much anti-Friedman as anti-corporate.) And in hunting down instances in which ideology has been used as a cover for enriching cronies and corporations, she slides into the position that politics is always and everywhere about enrichment. Her great strength—following the money; never taking ideology at face value but always questioning who benefits from it; helping to pull the left back to the economic analysis that it forgot during the era of “the personal is political”—is also a weakness. Her materialism is such that she sometimes seems scarcely to believe that politics exists at all."

"Klein's relentless materialism is not the only thing driving her to see conservatives merely as corporate puppets. She pays shockingly (but, given her premises, unsurprisingly) little attention to right-wing ideas. She recognizes that neoconservatism sits at the heart of the Iraq war project, but she does not seem to know what neoconservatism is; and she makes no effort to find out. Her ignorance of the American right is on bright display"

"Why do people see faces in nature, interpret window stains as human figures, hear voices in random sounds generated by electronic devices or find conspiracies in the daily news? ... We have no error-detection governor to modulate the pattern-recognition engine. (Thus the need for science with its self-correcting mechanisms of replication and peer review.)"

Count the number of times the full-page ad cries "usurper!" My personal favorite line: "The Armed Forces would be under no legal obligation to remain obedient to you."

"“The devil loves to take over business leaders and those who hold political office. Hitler and Stalin were possessed. How do I know? Because they killed millions of people. The Gospel says: ‘By their fruits you will know them.’"

In case you entertain any notions of taking Dvorsky or SIAI seriously: "A third solution, one that seems ludicrous at first glance, is that the slow sensory information is referred backwards in time from the near future to match the fast information."
