Ah, I ran into you before! Same as before too — “All of science is wrong, but I, the great polymath, know better.”

Your website claims you’re a master of a dozen different topics, none of which are biology-related, and yet you know so much better than all the world’s biologists! You give no actual evidence, even — you feel it should be sufficient that you, Daniel Goldman, polymath, should deign to take a few seconds to evaluate the “truth”.

Do you have any idea how pompous, ridiculous and arrogant you look to a third party? Has it occurred to you that instead of being a super-genius in all these fields, you in fact suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect?
