This is the formula for modern society (esp. social media).

That makes sense the impact of social media. No one stands out or gets attention for talking about the mass of boring peer reviewed scientific consensus. But wild crackpot jerk off theories people often stand alone and get much larger share of attention. And attention in now quantified by likes and views and is the currency of social media. So if social media success is your aim, make something up - the wilder the better!

Yeah, I pretty much mean it is the formula for human cognition.
