> alternative views I think you mean crackpot views. > carefully curated information which is incomplete Its curated because people attempt to confirm and verify the information. Nonsense like Joe Rogan has no verification - instead it has him Googling the subject for a few hours while doing a lot of drugs. To wit, here is a call of his where he discusses the now-debunked bondo ape: [this video] .

When you’re done we got 30 more and basically an endless supply. Doesn’t matter if you prove 99 of them wrong. If you can’t prove one wrong during a live debate we claim victory. We don’t care if you show that our arguments are inconsistent with each other, and totally impugn one of our sources. We still expec
