It sounds like a story by Philip K Dick. It would make a fantastic graphic novel. Dollard tells it pretty damn well himself, so I’m using his words as far as possible. I’m not an engineer or a scientist – I’m just trying to tell a story. It’s too big for me, really. To hear […]
HOW I KILLED A FLAT-EARTHER, AND WHY IT WAS PROBABLY WRONG Yes, for those of you lucky enough not to have come across it, flat earth is a thing — a self-styled ‘movement’ in fact. I’ve been aware of it for a while, because I watch weird stuff on Youtube, and, you know, things just […]

The appeal to ignorance is a reflex response to novel information. Kristen Meghan‘s first reaction on hearing talk of chemtrails was to feel professionally affronted. She was an industrial hygienist and environmental specialist working for the Air Force in bio-environmental engineering. She joined up after 9/11 and was committed to her oath of service, and […]
The appeal to ignorance is simultaneously an appeal to lack of imagination. Without imagination, new knowledge is impossible. How can you believe something you cannot imagine? When deployed by a trained mind, the argumentum ad ignorantiam represents a cynical ploy to exploit these limitations. One man who has argued with keen logic and clarity against […]
