Fringe Love.

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.

Looks like we missed that bullet!

What are you actually asking? Are you proposing a Borat type of situation, like the black stripper at the hoity-toity dinner party?

Daniel Jackson?

Oh wait, did you mean a real person?

Alfred Wegener?

Oh boy.

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?)

So, yeah, like a modern-day Alfred Wegener.

… Or indeed a real-life Daniel Jackson! :wink:

Tesla was pretty thrashed upon - perhaps him?

And he was a bit OCD nuts as well, bonus points?

Came for discussion of sex with badgers and radishes, leaving disappointed.

Sex with radishes? Oh, the pain!

I thought it was badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom snake.

No, it’s turtles all the way down.

The Honey Badger doesn’t give a shit.
