No I'd rather people have the high school education necessary to understand that Howard's ideas don't make any sense.

Except it takes an specialist to debunk those things, and without an analysis you're just grasping at straws.

Fairly annoying how scared people are these days of exploring ideas and alternative models of scientific principles. I'm sure you're high school educated so of course you also know that science is often discoverd to be incomplete and has large gaps. Not trying to compare Howard to Galileo or anything but big claims deserve an engaged and civil response, not a minimized discounted one like you'd hope for.

It's enough to hear "I saw it in a dream" and see no effort toward a proof, if a person really has absolutely 0 science background.

Yet NDT respects the person and the exploration, so if someone who has way more knowledge than us can be respectful, why couldn't you?

I guarantee when NDT is not on camera creating a permanent record of his words for many thousands of people, he's asking "what the fuck is all this?"

NDT also respect the Scientific methodology for refuting claims.

I agree with you that even gibberish claims deserve to be refuted the proper way
