Oh come on. "Studying" 5G and anti-vax conspiracy theories is hardly in same league as the stuff Faraday was researching.
I mean at this point I'm not 100% sure I'm not talking with a bot that just responds to my first sentence.
5G / anti-vax / etc. aren't research movements, they're justifications. Conspiracy "science" is not science, it's (fairly fringe) religion attempting to use alternate language to appear more respectable.
Stuff like the Netflix / Folding Ideas documentaries on Flat Earthers are still interesting for showing the application of ideas and how critical thinking is useful and how rejecting proof because it doesn't fit your hypothesis, instead of adjusting your hypothesis, is farcical when viewed outside the lens of belief.
aka, pseudoscience, its sounds sciency enough but its based on beliefs.
