- Alot of verbage has gone into a discussion of how to detect "pseudoscience".
- I might as well post my method. I simple do a text search for the following key
- phrases:
-
- "Beyond relaity"
- "Outside the universe"
- "scientific conspiracy"
- "I will not listen to your arguments"
- "That" <insult> <any famous person> "!!!"
- "I'm not an expert, but I must be right"
-
- Feel free to add you own to the list.
