I didn’t say you should call delusional idiots delusional idiots to their faces. Simply stating that delusional idiots hold their delusions very tightly.
Genuine question: I have a skin condition that disinginuates longitudinal scalar fields caused by quantum photons. It causes the standing columnar wave to sit down. Can this device still help me balance my humours?
I predict the answer to that question would mirror “The Simpsons”:
Comic Book Guy “Will you be able to provide an IP router that’s compatible with my token-ring ethernet LAN configuration?”
Homer Simpson “Can I have some money now?”
Haha! Excellent reference.
But it’s still damaging. Your lot, i.e. the subset of skeptics who think that “woo” is a funny and clever word, slap each other on the back and tell each other how smart you are and how dumb they are. When someone comes to the Straight Dope and asks “is XYZ real” they see your behaviour, and are offended by it. And then you point them to articles written by idiots which repeatedly say “woo” and “delusion”, and it isn’t likely to persuade them.
Nobody who says “woo” ever won. Please stop it.
And instead, you would…?
Not a chance.
Not calling out woo for what it is is not going to solve anything; are you proposing somebody comes to the Dope (or any of the other major woo-debunkers) to find out if something is legitimate and, on being told that Magic X is pure woo, is then going to turn around and say “I was willing to be convinced, but now that you’ve called it ‘woo’, I’m going to sign over my paycheck to the guy you are calling a quack!”
Not only are people calling it “woo” here (and elsewhere), they are explaining why it is woo.
Also, the self-described physicist author of that incredible testimonial (“There appears to be some form of inter-dimensional or high super scalar energy being generated, which when a person sits in a room with the EESystem technology running, their entire life force improves,”) is a kooky-even-by-kook standards Trump supporter whose Truth Social bio describes him as:
40 yrs. Executive Branch Director Of Classified Intelligence & Military Special Intelligence, National Security & CyberSecurity. Nuclear Physicist, Computer Scientist, Engineer and Bio Geneticist. Journalist and Business Developer. Resides in Maryland/DC and New Jersey. Jet Pilot, Chess Hobbiest, Armourer, Auto Racing (Porsche, Corvette and Shelby), Martial Artist. Advanced Systems, AI Software and Hardware Developer. Gene Sequencing, Forensics, Well rounded, well informed.
I mean, if you can’t trust that guy, who can you trust?
Stranger
Of all the chess hobbs, he is the hobbiest.
There is a good Daily Beast article here:
(For me at least it is readable in a private/incognito tab.)
I found this Reddit page which doesn’t have anything of substance but has some entertainment value for the raving loon dominating the comments:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DebunkThis/comments/1924hj5/debunk_this_the_eesystem_energy_enhancement/
They left out “Demi-God on Ceti Alpha 5”.
Hey! I have one of those tvs and my living room is totally cancer-free!
The interesting thing about their website is that as far as I could tell nowhere do they make any claim about what this thing is actually supposed to do! This is certainly a novel approach to product promotion, and suggests that they probably got at least some rudimentary legal advice.
There is one provably false statement in the fine print, though, which is “Results may vary”. I’m pretty certain that results will not vary, and will be exactly the same for everyone.
The fine print goes on to say, essentially, “if you’re sick, you should probably see a doctor”. This advice, coming from a Director Of Classified Intelligence & Military Special Intelligence, National Security & CyberSecurit,. Nuclear Physicist, Computer Scientist, Engineer and Bio Geneticist, is probably sound. Although I suspect that this advice didn’t actually come from this talented individual, either, but from his lawyer.
just to be clear, I already was pretty sure this was bogus, but since I couldn’t tell what they were claimingi was happening (apparently neither can anyone else) I decided to ask.
there ARE things that can improve a lot of areas in your life but they tend to be “eat more vegetables” or “get regular exercise”, not sit inbetween banks of computer monitors.
I have not been offended at all, but I do have at least one person posting here on ignore so YMMV.
and Wolfpup is wrong, results do vary. I have spoken with a few people who have tried this and some have felt nothing. Some rave about it.
If any positive results are the placebo affect, that’s OK with me. People are free to pay for such a thing or not, after all.
If I can get a free trial I’ll report back. 
well, there you go right there
Wait, wait, wait. There’s a popular and versatile finite element software package that added a facility for “scalar variables” after I proposed it to the developer. The package solves for field variables, which take on a different value for every point in space, and my idea was to provide similar solving ability for variables whose values are the same at all points. I included a sample problem demonstrating the purpose, and my sample problem became the teaching example in the fine manual. I’m very proud of this – it’s arguable the easiest way for the public to put one of my ideas to work.
“De-toxify”, yeah, that’s almost always a scam.
Not in my experience, no. Those with actual knowledge, the ones who can explain why it is wrong, never use the word. The ones without knowledge use childish insults.
If you read this post (and many others you have participated in), you might gain that experience you claim to be missing.
