Against my better knowledge, imma gonna risk opening up a big ol’ can of worms with this one.
(So mods, if this thread goes sour real quick, just do what you gotta do.)
But anyways, here we go: Who is the most maligned, fringe-y, considered-out-there, largely-or-completely-ignored-by-academia, unfit-for-civilized-society, you’ll-never-be-invited-again-if-you-bring-him-or-her-up-at-a-cocktail-party type-of thinker who you believe was/is either actually right, or at least sorta-maybe-somehow-on-to-something?
I have two in the latter category myself, but first I’d like to see what you lads come up with.
And please let’s try to be nice and respectful. We can do it.
More like “who do you think are the most underrated and/or most unfairly maligned thinkers of our time?” (Which, come to think of it, probably should have been the title in the first place! Can this be fixed?)
