Just a thought... Have you ever wondered WHY the vast majority of people think you're crazy/stupid/lying? Apart from a few other loons, nobody supports your ridiculous steel to dust/foam/whatever theory.
I have considered why, and I think I know the reason(s).
People are instinctively protective of ideas they hold dearly to be true.
As an instructor, I know the difference between teaching something
to people in two different cases. One, where they know nothing in
advance. Two, where they already hold misconceptions about the subject.
Misconceptions I define as false information that someone "knows" about
a subject.
The obvious example is biochemistry vs. evolution. Teaching biochemistry,
I get awed respect and quiet note-taking from my students. They look
to me as a genuine expert and depend on me knowing the subject inside
and out to be able to explain things backwards and forwards.
When it comes to evolution, I don't get this. What I get is a lot of
hand-raising, protests, arguments, refusals to do work, etc. This is
with both high school and college aged students, by the way.
I'm teaching the curriculum of New York State in both cases. But not only
do my students refuse to "go along" with my expertise in both cases,
but they also perform much better with the biochemistry than the evolution
sections on the Advanced Placement Biology exam (to name one standard).
Get it? I'm right in both cases, but the students started out knowing they
didn't know anything about biochemistry but thinking that they knew things
about evolution. It's much harder to teach somebody something if they
think they already know the answer.
Like most of you people. For some reason, you were comfortable with
the halfway explanation given for the demise of the World Trade Center.
The planes have nothing to do with it, because until 2005, it never
occurred to me that there might not have been planes. Up until then,
I was still focused on the anomalous destruction seen at Ground Zero.
As I've said before, 9/11 humbled me. I knew that I would have to learn
something in order to understand 9/11, so I began from scratch. I wasn't
so arrogant to think that I already knew the answer on the Day of 9/11.
Please. That's ridiculous on its face. They solved a crime like this in less
than a day? You're kidding me, right?
