One of the points Exoacademian makes in the podcast I linked to earlier in the thread is that exposure to ideas that people disagree with—even if it is brief exposure and immediately rejected—is still valuable.

The reason is that the mind will store that piece of data in the “nonsense” file cabinet but will still retain it—and at some future date when the person is ready to take a second look it is still there open for examination.

That is why I never hesitate to post ideas that others may view as “crazy”. While they are busy attacking me their minds are absorbing the data.
