[Jnana]

I listen to a lot of people who have something to say on Project Camelot and elsewhere, even though a lot of what they have to say is clearly nonsense (to me). Nobody has all the answers. Just because someone is correct on one point, does not mean they are correct on all points. Just because someone is wrong on one point, does not mean they are wrong on all points. Even dis-information has some information content to it, especially if you know what it is they are trying to dis. It gets to be like filtering tons of mud to find the occasional flake of gold.

Having met a pretty good con-artist (and lost a few bucks to same), I know how good they are at pretending to be nice sincere people with your interest at heart. It's very difficult to distinguish such people from really nice sincere people. Similarly, flakey far out weirdos who are bad at normal human interactions can be brilliant and honest people. I use my own best judgement on who I choose to accept as worthwhile sources, and what part of what they have to say as worth keeping in the "possible" bin.

I think the Project Camelot policy of presenting interviews without necessarily endorsing the people or the content is a good one. It's unfortunate to see an interviewee removed because of a misunderstanding or conflict (whatever it was), and I hope this sort of thing does not have to happen again.
