I suppose "semi-literate" was your attempt at biting sarcasm, but I don't take that as an insult at all. I find the topic to be fascinating. So I actually have taken the time to read about a variety of fringe subjects, not in place of, but rather in addition to more traditional views regarding science and technology and the world.

I suppose I could have just laughed it all off years ago as tinfoil hat stuff (and honestly a good deal of it is), since it clearly did not fit the pre-packaged views that were programmed into me during my formative years. But I guess about the same time I began to question religion, I began to question what I see as a near mirror to religion in the scientific community. It's conservative, resistant to change, resistant to new ideas, too focused on maintaining the status quo rather than pushing the boundaries of discovery.

Your arbitrary dismissal of things you clearly have no interest in, and thus know very little about, is I think a great example of that. You already know everything there is to know, so why bother asking any questions.
