I feel compelled to comment on today's latest hellthread since it involved a lot of people who are either mutuals or who I interact with in my replies;

YEC, flat earthism, and similar schitzo theories are poisonous beyond all comprehension, DK may religiously be a heathen but that doesn't make him wrong when he asserts that well researched scientific principles aren't beaten by schitzo theories you found on 4chan. Or interpretations of the Bible that you either heard from crazy people or derived yourself without seeking proper spiritual guidance from your pastor.

This, by it's very definition is smart people repellent, asserting barely constructed theories in the face of empiricism is going to scare away most with any modicum of intelligence, this is not good for ours, or any movement. The left faces a similar problem with their dogmatic obsessions with both racial grievances and the blank slate theory, and is why some of the only truly smart people they have left are walking corpses like Chomsky.
