I really like what this physicist, Lamar Glover, has to say in Behind the Curve

+ this part from Spiros Michalakis:

Incredibly good take which is really rare for these topics

Quote by physicist LAMAR GROVER:

“Truthers, flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers… when we leave people behind, we leave bright minds to mutate and stagnate. These folks are potential scientists gone completely wrong. Their natural inquisitiveness and rejection of norms could be beneficial to science if they were more scientifically-literate.”

Quote by Dr SPIROS MICHALAKIS:

“The problem I see is actually not from the side of the conspiracy theorists. It is actually from our side, from the side of science. Very often it is difficult not to look down. My friend said: “Sometimes, the way to change someone’s mind is to shame them”. And I say, I don’t think that’s the last resort, ever. This is the same as saying that, if a kid doesn’t get a particular subject, it’s not your fault as the teacher, it is their own fault. I do not believe that. It is you haven’t developed your empathy to see from their point of view where they’re getting stuck. The worst case scenario is you just completely push these individuals at the fringe of society, and then society just lost them.“
