    Pseudoscience, pseudoscientific ideas, and pseudo-scientists are everywhere. They do have an impact on society. I’m curious to know which ones you feel have been the most influential.

    I'll start with Nassim Haramein. His name, videos, and photos are everywhere on the web, and he has a large following.

    I’m also curious about the influence of the Templeton Foundation.

    Good or bad?

    Well, you can tell that I was thinking small, duh! Obviously, the most influential cranks provide answers on the origin and nature of life and reality, the really big questions.

    I need your help. I want to make a list and I only have 30 days to complete it.

    Well that's certainly annoying.
    I've just discovered there's a book out that I really want and Amazon are unlikely to get delivery before that period's up. Does this mean I'm going to spend eternity not having read a copy? :bawl:
    Hell indeed.

    if he's not the biggest crank he's definitely the biggest douche

    OH no, not Sarah! Is it because you are one of those silly progressives or was it the lipstick thingy?
