Of course it’s in my best interests, as somebody who thinks of himself as a crackpot, to distinguish between two -kinds- of crackpot. But also, I find crackpot theories inherently interesting, and enjoy reading and trying to understand them about as much as I enjoy reading actual physics; I think maybe what I enjoy is the work to understand new ideas, and crackpots are a source of ideas that frequently take some work to understand. In a sense, I’m a crackpot fanboy. So I’ve read about a lot of crackpot theories.
