So how do ideas get to the stage where the &#x27;research institutes&#x27; agree they&#x27;re worth investigating?<p>It seems to me like you&#x27;re saying &quot;I don&#x27;t like these ideas, no one should be working on them&quot;. That seems a worse principle then &quot;everyone should work on ideas they find worth investigating&quot;.<p>I also have no idea how you distinguish &#x27;Bullshit Ideas&#x27; from non-bullshit ideas without investigating them. Your gut is not <i>that</i> good at distinguishing truth from a blunder.
