    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Dr. Tara C. Smith

    I've sometimes wondered how rich I could be if I turned to the Dark Side and used my knowledge of quackery, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories to create the perfect quackery. Only two things are stopping me: My lack of charisma and, more importantly, my damned moral compass.https://twitter.com/aetiology/status/1174343935294083078 …

    This. If I really wanted to be a $hill, I'd write an antivax, antievolution, HIV denial book and make $$ affirming all their conspiracy theories. Damn morals.

        Another thought occurred to me. Yes, at first antivaxers and/or quacks would be suspicious of me, but if I stuck it out they'd come to love me more than they love Wakefield or Bigtree.

        The reason is that I'd be a whistleblower on the skeptic movement, an apostate who became an apostate because he turned from the "dark side," someone who could confirm to them all their conspiracy theories.

        Same here, though I would go the religion route. Folks would love my colorful, complex rituals & I'd try to build some fabulous mash-up of Cambodian-Egyptian architecture.

        I don't know if you'd have a good villain for the paranoid ideation you're trying to feed. "Big Egypt" doesn't quite fly.

        A close family member is a lobbyist and he has been offered many jobs that would have made him filthy rich. He declines and instead works for the greater good.
