Why do people have crazy opinions? What are the social
consequences of crazy opinions? More importantly, How are promising ideas
selected among crazy and non-crazy opinions? What makes an opinion
sound crazy, and another one look serious? For example, why do
libertarians look more or less crazy in public discourse, and are often
absent from public debates, while PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals) runs half a dozen websites (including cowsarecool.com) and
wage campaigns with slogans like "Help chickens in
China"?
Any ideas?
