I think some of this is about "taking the heat" or at least forcing his way into the spotlight. He'll be a hero to DRASTIC and Alina - will this be a step too far for any of the rest of the Bloomshiters. Btwn JB and AC they are pretty much making a mockery of science. We'll know for sure when he starts making the rounds on Fox and Murdoch.

Which was pointed out to him. Repeatedly. Yet - :man-shrugging:. In his words "I'll take the heat" (I pointed to out this wasn't about him, but :man-shrugging:)

Such a stupid thing to do. He could have raised these points without all the accusations.

I can't believe he is really that naive
2021-06-20 16:51 Kristian G. Andersen open

After this meeting, I honestly think something might be wrong with him. But I'm not going to speculate.

And it's not as much naive as it's willful ignorance.
