When the Crazy Guy Turns Out to be Right

who was crazy until they were right all along livik boltzmann his equations and formulas explained the physical properties of matter but as it went against the then accepted laws of physics he was ridiculed and ignored for years while fighting for atom theory to be accepted he took his own life just three years before ernest rutherford discovered the nucleus of an atom proving boltzmann's theory hemingway before he took his life he became extremely paranoid the fbi was following him his wife and people around him just thought he was mentally ill and grew deeply concerned hemingway went as far as getting electrotherapy at a psychiatric hospital to try and help with the perceived delusions turns out the fbi had been following and bugging him for years according to declassified files in the days of landlines my phone was tapped i could hear a strange hollow sound and i knew someone was listening i had had a bad accident and was home for almost a year and involved in a lawsuit i told my attorney about it he told me the insurance company wouldn't bother i mentioned this to my roommate she told me i was crazy i began to notice a van parked on my street it was there for several days i thought i was under surveillance my attorney and my roommate said i was crazy a person came to my door asking questions about the neighborhood they claimed to be from a real estate company they didn't go to other houses i thought i was being watched my attorney and my roommate said i was crazy several weeks later my roommate's boyfriend was arrested for stealing physical and intellectual property from ibm it was the beginning of the tech era and he stole millions in hardware and software and ideas we were being watched to see if we were involved the phone was tapped we were under surveillance we were taped i wasn't crazy after all quite creepy but a relief that you were correct the dingo ate my baby lady god made fun of constantly most notably in seinfeld and i believe went to jail because nobody believed her turns out a dingo ate her baby she is still made fun of this one was beyond fricked up your child is taken from you and killed by wild animals then you're jailed for murdering your own child and ridiculed the world over for your lame story as to what actually happened then yeah being right the whole time in 1912 the meteorologist alfred wedgener described what he called continental drift an idea that culminated 50 years later in the modern theory of plate tectonics 40. wagener expanded his theory in his 1915 book the origin of continent and oceans 41 starting from the idea also expressed by his foreigners that the present continents once formed a single land mass later called pangy wedjana suggested that these separated and drifted apart likening them to icebergs of low density granite floating on a sea of denser basalts 42 supporting evidence for the idea came from the dove tailing outlines of south america's east coast and africa's west coast and from the matching of the rock formations along these edges confirmation of their previous contiguous nature also came from the fossil plants glycotyrus and gangamobsterus and the therapsid or mammal-like reptile estrosaurus all widely distributed over south america africa antarctica india and australia the evidence for such a nurse while joining of these continents was patent to field geologists working in the southern hemisphere the south african alex dutoir put together a mass of such information in his 1937 publication our wandering continents and went further than wedjinger in recognizing the strong links between the gondwana fragments coma wagoner's work was initially not widely accepted in part due to a lack of detailed evidence the earth might have a solid crust and mantle and a liquid core but there seemed to be no way that portions of the crust could move around distinguished scientists such as harold jeffries and charles scotchette were outspoken critics of continental drift plate tectonics my father's university dissertation was on plate tectonics it was initially rejected by the header of the department and this was in the early 1970s courtney love was warning everyone about harvey weinstein back in the mid 90s but everyone just wrote her off if you're a woman in this industry and weinstein invites you to one of his parties don't go if courtney love of all people tells you not to go to a party you should really not go to that party the fan that predicted the shows how i met your mother message and was shamed only to be completely right in the end j holland brett he was a geologist that in the 1920s came up with a theory about why the dry falls and surrounding scablands of eastern washington state were so sharp and abrupt instead of smooth should be with the general understanding of erosion especially since the falls have no real river to speak of to create erosion his theory was that a giant flood created by an even more massive lake ripped through the region millions of years ago reshaping the landscape in a matter of days he was laughed at and discredited in the geology community for almost 50 years until someone discovered evidence in the 1950s of an ancient and massive lake that started just north of montana that stretched all the way to southern utah the lake was believed to have been created by glacial dams ice walls during the last ice age it would fill up over thousands of years and then hit a point where a glacial dam broke and the lake water would fire out the break like a water cannon drain the lake and reshape an entire region over several days as the water flowed toward the ocean this happened several times since the flood that carved the dry falls likely started from the lake missoula area in modern-day montana it was named the the great missoula flood bretz was given an award in 1979 for his contribution to geology when he was 96 years old he joked all my enemies are dead so i have no one to gloat over i'm glad he lived long enough to see his theories vindicated i remember reading about the floods in college and it's still one of my favorite things to idly mull over like can you imagine if we had video of something like that when the civil war broke out everyone on both sides thought it would be a quick victory however sherman kept saying it would be a bloodbath that would drag on for years his superiors decided he was insane and sent him out west to fight engines native americans just to get rid of him after it all came true and they needed some better generals they said maybe we should bring back that sherman guy martha mitchell she was the wife of nixon's ag john mitchell she was outspoken in the extreme and was one of the first to talk openly about what really happened ray watergate since she was also known to love her martinez she was widely written off as a drunk crazy woman behind the scenes a white house doctor began heavily sedating her and her husband locked her away from the press no one believed her until nixon resigned and the story came out to this day most people only remember her as that loudmouth martha mitchell there was a great drunk history on her jon snow yes that's his name was laughed laughter for believing that the multiple cholera outbreaks could be traced back to a specific source and that it was due to contaminated water essentially making him one of the fathers of epidemiology he has a fascinating life that went beyond that as well not only epidemiology but very rudimentary geographical information system science just he was mapping out where all the cases were most common and found the specific well that was contaminated the radium girls when radium had just come to the us and was being marketed on dials for war and watches girls used their lips to fix the paint brushes to make their numbers and dials perfect eventually they started suffering horrible painful experiences due to the radium these girls fought for years to figure out a what was wrong with them b who was responsible and see how they were going to pay their bills support their families it's a horrible injustice these girls needed support and validation that they weren't crazy that it was radium and it took far too long and too many deaths for it to happen worst part is the company knew it was bad for the girls and continue to encourage them to put brushes in their mouths when i was in boy scout camp we had this counselor named on he was kind of odd he knew everything about trees and only really talked about trees we had just gotten back from a hike that don was on with us and we were just sitting around talking and he suddenly goes you know they are gonna let girls into boy scout soon we were all like yeah okay don but sure enough less than three years later they did it that's good i was expecting don to be a pedophile the ex-husband of my ex-girlfriend turns out he wasn't the crazy one after all he kept trying to tell me and if i would have listened from the beginning i could have saved four years of my life im so sorry man there are always two sides of every story and unfortunately sometimes we meet the liars first good riddance and i hope the new space in your life is filled by someone much more deserving of your love and affection michael bury the first guy to predict the 2008 housing market crash he was a hedge fund manager for scion capital at the time and basically bet his entire fund's liquidity all the money the fund had that there would be a crash no one believed him except a few other people who also bet against the market several of his clients sued him for tying their money up in what they considered to be a foolish bet all to have him be right in the end he made his fund something like 1.30 cents billion and the value increased about 489 the movie the big short is about him and the few other people who were wise enough to bet against the market at the time i've watched the movie like five times in order to try to understand exactly what happened but still don't fully get it i recommend it to anyone who's interested fun fact michael bury was also ahead of the curve in the recent gamestop surge i think he had something like 1.2 million shares of gamestop months before the price shot up might need to fact check myself the classic example of course is cassandra in greek mythology she was cursed to know the future but for no one to believe her when she told them the people who discovered primes all the other biologists thought they were crazy to suggest one protein could be an infectious agent nope those biologists were wrong and nobel prizes were rewarded me about my now disowned cousin he kept stealing things from me which my family felt was no big deal but it escalated it went from stealing candy to my things to cash and after that i asked them how much longer they would support him and call me selfish for not sharing the line was finally crossed when he stole our grandmother's credit cards and her car she finally wrote him off this was after he had stolen all of her jewelry including the last present anniversary ring my grandfather was ever to give her oh but he tried to say that our family kicked him out because he is gay number none of us cared about that it was because he is a thief his friends have bailed him out of jail and then dropped him when he steals from them but he claims the world is just unfair to him now he tells his pity story and milk that my family disowned me because i'm gay to everyone he begs from i learned this when he tried to do it to one of my friends jose canseco he revealed that a bunch of baseball players mark maguire rafael palmeiro etc were doing steroids no one believed him for years until everyone else got caught doing steroids he was right but he was the worst possible messenger sinead o'connor younger redditors might not know who she is but she was a singer-songwriter from ireland who was a staple in the alternative music scene during the late 80s and early to mid 90s who had some crossover hits anyway at the height of her popularity she was the musical guest on saturday night live after canceling an earlier scheduled spot in protest against the guest host which was some dumbass stand up comic from the 80s called andrew diceclay as scott thompson described him it's as if someone took your grandmother the one who can't speak english and taught her to swear phonetically gave her a special on hbo and made her a star during her performance she sang an a cappella version of bob marley's war changing the lyrics to make it about child sexual abuse instead of racism at the end of the performance she shouted something like fight the real enemy and ripped up a picture of the poop in the following weeks people lost their crap and on the next episode of saturday night live they had at least three sketches that tore her apart a few years later the catholic sex abuse scandal broke internationally i think at the time she was protesting the magdaleni laundries and she was 100 right and everyone knew it about 10 years ago there was this stoner who always hung around the shop that i played magic at one day he told me that he didn't trust jared from subway i said that there was nothing to worry about and that the only thing that jarrah did was eat sandwiches he said that there was something really sinister about jared and that he could tell just by looking at him all the magic players i know are pretty insightful tbh that one journalist gary webb that uncovered the truth that the cia aided and abetted nicaraguan contra rebels in funneling sea into inner city communities and then he was blackballed and later killed himself there is actually a book about gary webb his investigation and the aftermath called kill the messenger by nick shue johnny rotten and jerry sadowetz both openly accused jimmy savile of pedophilia long before anyone took it seriously both basically ended up blacklisted in the uk corey feldman dude went on national tv to tell everyone that there was a network of sexual abusers in hollywood and that he himself had been abused and people laughed at him and shunned him and then it came out that pretty much everything he was saying was true barbara walters essentially scolded him for doing it but to me those reactions are sort of the equivalent of those who've just completed paying massive student loans don't want the next generation to have benefits of free or reduced price schooling with how old baba wawa is she must have gone through a shitload of sexual harassment in her early days the people who were tortured as a part of mk ultra imagine trying to convince the people around you that the government is trying to make you crazy with mind control only years later to find out that not only was it true but you wouldn't get compensation for it and you were subject to illegal human experimentation for this one it's not really surprising that they weren't believed though the government is controlling my mind is one of the absolute classic conspiracy theories congresswoman barbara lee was the only congressperson out of 535 members who voted no on the authorized use of military force act after the 9 11 attacks there were also 12 present not voting recorded in her words it was a blank check to the president to attack anyone involved in the 11th of september events anywhere in any country without regard to our nation's long-term foreign policy economic and national security interests and without time limit in granting these overly broad powers the congress failed its responsibility to understand the dimensions of its declaration i could not support such a grant of war making authority to the president i believe it would put more innocent lives at risk the president has the constitutional authority to protect the nation from further attack and he has mobilized the armed forces to do just that the congress should have waited for the facts to be presented and then acted with fuller knowledge of the consequences of our action for her vote she received death threats a damaged political career she was called insane a traitor and a communist and she was 100 right i also read in an interview that she set out tennis shoes to wear on the 6th of january because she remembered how crappy running to shelter in the capital in heels on 9 11 was and wanted to avoid that very astute woman me when nobody believed me when i said a cat broke into the house no mother uncle or cousin believed me even i questioned if i just hallucinated it turns out i was right when i heard my cousin screaming finding her standing on a chair while looking like she saw her life flash before her eyes my tattoo artist not a dt follower who during a six-hour session described to me what exactly would happen if biden won but not by a landslide i thought he was embracing a doomsday mentality every word was correct that's great because i hate mistakes and tattoos john lydon of the sex pistols denouncing gimme savile in an interview wbbc radio in 1978 claiming that savile was into all sorts of seediness we all know about it but are not allowed to talk about it i know some rumors which were obviously just the tip of the iceberg when it came to savile leiden was supposedly banned from bbc radio for a while and i'll throw in bob eveling even though he was considered wrong only for a short time ebeling was one of five booster rocket engineers at nasa contractor morton firecall who tried to stop the 1986 challenger launch they worried that cold temperatures overnight the forecast said 18 degrees would stiffen the rubber o-ring seals that prevent burning rocket fuel from leaking out of booster joints he was the first to warn the morning before the launch but politics and pressure prevailed and the challenger launched on the 28th of january 1986 to tragic results suzanne simmer discovered that trees not only communicate with each other but will lend a tree and distress resources people thought that was crazy talk for a long time doubt anyone sees this but frickit learned recently my grandpa was right all along my grandpa was a dentist he mentored my current dentist saw my dentist the other day and he was going on and on about how my grandpa was doing things 40 years ago that he was mocked for endlessly by the dental community and told he was crazy those things he was doing are now being seen as modern dentistry today my dentist said he feels so happy for my grandpa and wishes he was alive to see this with love examples every woman with endometriosis yeah you win six doctors two years and i'm one of the lucky ones barbara mcclindlock after being accepted in the scientific community as a woman in the forties which was quite defeat she was invited to the national academy of sciences which was a huge deal after that she discovered transposons pieces of dna that move around your genome very simplified everyone thought she was crazy and she was ostracized from the scientific community despite having mountains of evidence and continued research people just didn't believe her talking about her reaction at the time i was startled when i found they didn't understand it didn't take it seriously it didn't bother me i just knew i was right anybody who had had that evidence thrown at them with such abandon couldn't help but come to the conclusions i did about it she essentially said they were all fake af and returned to her corn fields until around the 70s when it became possible they marked jeans and found that they do indeed travel around the genome she then got to nobel prize and was like kate back to work she said at the time you just know sooner or later it will come out in the wash but you may have to wait some time she died sometime in the 90s saying of her experience i just have been so interested in what i was doing and it's been such a pleasure such a deep pleasure that i never thought of stopping i've had a very very satisfying and interesting life she never got too upset she just kept her head down and kept doing her work because she knew it was right and she knew it was important this doesn't even begin to talk about all the discrimination she faced but suffice it to say that she had a powerful impact on genetics and she's now one of my role models in my own research known serial abuser on youtube an issue had long accused shane dawson of being inappropriate with children obviously he was not listened to because he himself married a 17 year old and continued to groom other girls with his husband he eventually recanted his statement and apologized but a few years after that it turned out dawson had done a lot of inappropriate things towards children and sexualized them frequently at which point initian said see i was right all along crazy stuff my wife who never liked my mom's husband he apparently made a pass at her before we were married and i just wrote it off as bob being bob because it was honestly semi-innocent and at the time he and my mom went uliweds but over the years we started finding out he was hitting my mother he fondled my sister he was constantly cheating on my mom he got caught trying to take an upskirt picture of my friend's underage sister and he punched my mom in the head outside in the ice causing her to hit her head on the pavement fracturing her skull and causing an almost fatal brain hemorrhage she needed two brain surgeries and now deals with balance issues and almost complete loss of taste and smell and hearing in one ear he has never faced any consequences for anything because for reasons i can't quite understand local law enforcement in their podunk town takes his side every time she calls the cops on him one time they even took her to jail because his drunk butt fell in the walk-in pantry while they were having an argument and he called the cops and said she beat him up he's literally twice her size this is terrible one of our dnd party members was hiding in a tree when the rest of the party was trying to negotiate and we got captured except the one in a tree my party let's accept this invite to go talk to xanathar in his private office my character hard pass enjoy the mind worms nikki lowder predicting lewis hamilton's transfer from mclaren to mercedes f1 will be a good decision ended up winning six championships in mercedes alone and counting i kept telling people that apple deliberately sabotages their phones to stop working overtime via their updates and that it doesn't matter if you reject the update it'll happen anyway lo and behold apple was caught out using planned obsolescence via updates to sabotage their own phones to twist its customers arms into buying a new one they said i was being paranoid well who's paranoid nalura wh shows paranoid now working at a psychiatric hospital i once heard about a guy claiming he was a secret agent on a covered mission to stop a potential terrorist attack he didn't elaborate any more than that and they thought he was psychotic loaded him with antipsychotics basically turning him into a zombie about a week later a bunch of black suits come in flashing their badges says his story checks out and took him with them the famous swift quote applies when a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign that the dancers are all in confederacy against him taylor swift does have some great lyrics my dad he was a uk policeman in the 80s and 90s he would rant four hours about asian pedophile gangs and it's all being covered up because nobody wants to deal with it and i mostly assumed he was just being racist dang must have really sucked for him if even his own son daughter wouldn't take him serious must have really felt like the only sane man in an insane world kind of deal not to blame you or anything i don't know the circumstances but just from his perspective that's gotta be rough winston churchill he was very much out of favor at the time that he began warning about german armament in the first volume of his retrospective on the second world war he is emphatic that it was history's most unnecessary and preventable war in my mind the willingness to appease hitler as long as it meant having at least some chance to avoid another war speaks volumes about how horrifyingly traumatizing world war one must have been for everyone involved me developed severe chronic pain at the age of 14 and after all the medical tests were negative my doctors convinced everyone that the symptoms were psychosomatic the pain is real but caused by a mental illness rather than physical problem they said that my depression was causing my pain but if i was depressed it was only months after my pain already started when i began to realize it was never going to go away then four years later in 2014 i was diagnosed with my actual problem ayla's download syndrome and people stopped thinking i was crazy and started treating me with respect for doing my best to survive what i go through if you are new to
