There's no money in faking an interest in tech in order to flame 24/7
so the only conclusion is anyone posting here without a tech
background, formal or informal, academic or industrial, is irrational
_per se_.
More likely a few here have some fanciful [uneducated] notions of
science or engineering and try to live in a pretend world. In one
revealing post the word "glory" actually appeared. That must have
come from a Harliquin romance novel. I don't type "LOL!" or
very often but I'll make an exception for _that_ one.
There is no other way to spin it: When they respond to posts they
openly admit they _themselves_ believe to be content free then they
are irrational.
When someone brags about having a patent and immediately becomes too
humble to post the patent number, that would the basis of _New Yorker_
cartoon material if done in jest.
But they aren't doing it it jest.
That's why you see so many responses that are not only are nonsensical
from a tech POV, any _layman_ with an IQ above single digits would
ridicule them:
1. circular furrows are impossible.
2. negative economies of scale may apply to adiabatic engine systems.
3. EVs and hybrid electric drive trains mathematically proven not
efficient.
Lewis Carrol and Joseph Heller would be green with envy.

Because of the spectacular breakthroughs in microelectronics, we're
moving to a more democratic world where everyone on an SSI mental
disability has free speech to post anywhere.
This isn't such a bad development. In fact it probably should be
encouraged to some extent.
For one thing it keeps the nonfunctionals off the street and out of
industry where they really would be a hindrance to vehicle traffic and
profit making, respectively.
For another, it's educational for beginners to watch those with no
science or engineering background and/or not interested in tech issues
out themselves.
Most figure it out very quickly.
Finally, anyone can google anyone's name to see who is _starting_
threads on tech matters and who is always dodging tech issues and
flaming out at the _end_ of a branch.
No one can rewrite the public record (although the irrationals will
certainly give it a try).

Just because the non functionals aren't interested in tech doesn't
necessarily mean that they never make a contribution.
As John Milton wrote, "they also serve who dodge and flame."

There's a reason they are in fantasy land and apparently it needs to
be addressed.
Back in Tuscon La Frontera tried to physically integrate the mental
cases into apt. buildings with "normal" people. This policy had mixed
results. One attacked a neighbor and then trapped the apt. manager in
his unit. Another starting barking like a dog at 3 am and, after 4
hours, had to be turned over to her case worker.
What's the worst the worst can do here? Some idiot typing nonsense?
