What good is recognizing criminal organizations on a massive scale if you can (and) do nothing about them?
As they say, knowing is half the battle.
There are answers to your questions, but knowing them does not invalidate the worth/value of other knowledge!
I could say the same thing about “electric universe”/“plasma astronomy” too. Would i be right?
Is knowledge not valuable for its own sake? Is the pursuit of truth suddenly not valuable simply because criminals own and run the world?
Are you really saying that, even if the world is flat, it is better to believe a lie of a globe because fact/reality is “irrelevant and not worth your time”?
It makes far less sense to discuss the state of belief of one thing or another when actual evidence reveals crimes in progress, without question the focus should be on the matters of importance.
Crimes are always in progress. It doesn’t negate the importance of learning.
I agree, and as i said - IF the world is flat, researching that (and how and why we have been so wrong for so long) is certainly a matter of importance.
If it isn’t important, why did you post this article at all?
