Hey All -
I've been following a few skeptic forums on Facebook and within sometime realized that it was largely nothing short of a crazed hate movement.
No one there seemed interested in science, advocating for anything worthwhile - instead they just wanted to fight "woo" wherever they deemed it existed. Anything uncomfortable to them is declared to be "Woo".
Now, I've stumbled across this site and the work of Rupert Sheldrake and it's the same cast and crew of characters arguing against NDE and other things with the same mentality.
So it seems we have an army of angry skeptics at war with not only the idea of conciousness but also fighting against the use of evidence based practices in health care that aren't "mainstream" enough.
What can we do to fight back?Take Wikipedia for example - should we have our own 'guerrilla skeptics' on Wikipedia?
Should we begin petitions to warn wikipedia about how it's been hijacked? I'm sure there are many in health care that would sign such a petition.
