I watched the doc just last week and really enjoyed it.
I particularly liked the time you gave to members of the scientific community to talk about how science may have failed these people, rather than just lambasting them as idiots.
It seems that facts established by the scientific method won't convince these kinds of people, so what do you think the scientific community could do to engage more with the growing anti-intellectual movements (flat earth, anti-vax, climate change denial etc) to avoid them feeling isolated and grouping together around damaging ideas?
