Smolin isn't viewed as a crackpot, but anyone who brings up foundational issues, or who tries to moderate the conclusions drawn from research gets labeled a certain way, especially if the criticism is directed "outside."
Sabine is getting too famous to not ultimately get resentment.
Apparently, something in my comment there really made a lot of people mad (or one person with several accounts), and I'm unsure why. I would love someone to explain to me how they think science should function without skeptics.
Especially in the clickbait era.
- consilient 3y ago> I would love someone to explain to me how they think science should function without skeptics. No one thinks this. People dislike Hossenfelder and Smolin because they're peddling their own hot takes as established fact to a lay audience utterly unequipped to tell the difference.
- garbagecoder 3y ago"No one thinks this" YOU don't think this, but there are clearly people out there who don't want to hear their wild speculation isn't real. It's human nature.
