Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

There are lots of frauds like this out there..offering to "protect " possible paranoid schizophrenics from "voice to skull" technology and other drivel.

Apparently MKUltra, the NSA scandals etc convinced a lot of people like this that all their worst fears are real. I feel bad for the people who believe stuff like this. Some of it is discomfort with technology. Where it is distrust of corrupted leadership or in the system, this is not a useful reaction. Obviously, the pendant crap is just crazy. But even paranoia about tech cos (driven by distrust of tacky people and not of the actual tech) should not go fringe..It should be mainstreamed skepticism about shady and tacky corporate creeps and of corrupt states pushing for deregulation.


But given all the legitimate creepiness in big tech, a growing lunatic, anti-science fringe is a really bad thing..Well it is a bad thing any which way..
