There is a more likely possibility - Haig is an unpaid shill!
Haig is a follower of the Thunderbolts neo-Velikovsky cult.
Ben Davidson is a follower of the Thunderbolts neo-Velikovsky cult.
Thus Haig is acting as a good cult follower and spamming us with the delusions of Ben Davidson because Davidson is a member of the cult, not because Haig has actually thought about the subject. This is what we should expect from someone who has been "brainwashed" by a cult.
N.B. I call Thunderbolts a cult because they share some attributes of a cult
- Over 60 years of mindlessly following the dogma in a holy book ("Worlds in Collision").
- Belief based on faith rather than evidence.
- The words of "prophets" are also holy (Talbott, Thornhill, Scott and maybe Davidson) even when they are delusions and lies.
- The words of "unbelievers" (scientists) are considered lies or delusions.
- Some isolation of cult followers in the Thunderbolts forum where people asking for reasonable evidence can be arbitrarily banned.
Fair enough. All I know of him is the repetitious posting in the AGW Discussion thread, where his oblivious plodding is so boring I couldn't believe anyone could do it for so long without making it a job for money, like working on an assembly line in a factory (or slaughtering chickens).
But you convince me he is just mindlessly spamming us with his religion of choice.
As with other people's sexual "perversions", religious fanatics are unfathomably weird to anyone who doesn't share their obsessions, so I guess that explains his commitment to his adopted "cause".
It's people like them that make me despair for the prospects of the human race. Conversely, it's people like you and Pixel42 who give me hope.
Not least because it may be that only a small percentage of the population having clear-minded intelligence and critical faculties is sufficient to cast enough light to facilitate progress and science. After all, the fact that we have seen science blossom so rapidly in historical terms, raising us out of the swamp of superstition and ignorance of the past and in the face of the continued wilfully obtuse like Haig and his ilk all around us today, shows that ignorance and lies do wither in the light of truth and real understanding.
So, thank you all for keeping on. Don't let the bastards get you down!
