@JasonColavito I've been somewhat out of the skeptic arena for awhile, but at least as far back as the early 2010s, many were urging Shermer to stay out of commenting on fields that he doesn't study, as his ignorance of them strongly showed through.

@JohnnyBud But, it just happened to be the idea that stuck and they got traction from.

@JohnnyBud CRT became that for conservatives as the boogeyman du jour after struggling to find something to energize their base beyond Trump last year, despite CRT existing only as an academic theory at the university level and certainly not governing how grade school children are taught.

@JohnnyBud For your more general question, I think it’s that these vague ideas exist out there on the fringe, and slightly more mainstream / bigger audience conspiracists pick them up and see what sticks with their audience.

@JohnnyBud Heaven’s Gate was a cult that existed before the lies spread by (redacted) on C2C. I think it’s leaders used it as a way out, to end things since there are good signs that it was a death cult from the start.

Stitching numerous images together to create planetary maps typically involves a lot of manual labor. A new process can automate much of that handiwork to produce more accurate products.
