That’s not true, not even in science. Science has strong gatekeeping and moderation in the form of peer review. You can’t just publish any old shite.

That, in large part, is why I have a particular dislike of self-described “autodidact” grifters that tend to run rampant in Silicon Valley circles, getting subsidized by the ultra-rich because they are bullshit artists and sometimes outright cult leaders (see “MIRI” for example), promising miracles and transcendence to the ultra-rich where peer-reviewed scientific inquiry won’t.

As I’ve heard elsewhere, like so many bazingas, he doesn’t “love science,” he stares at science’s ass as it walks by.
this can easily applies to internet pop history lovers too, i’ll remember this one
Wish I had heard that back when the “I fucking LOVE science” FB group was the gravity well of bazingas.
