Lo que uno de nosotros piense de ellos, muchos de ellos lo pensarán de nosotros. Cuando se entabla una conversación con un negacionista de la ciencia, es bueno recordar la regla que sigue todo novelista: el villano es el héroe de su propia historia."-Lee McIntyre, How to Talk to a Science Denier: Conversations with Flat Earthers, Climate Deniers, and Others Who Defy Reason

"Quizá sea tan difícil que un negacionista de la ciencia cambie de opinión a base de evidencia porque, en cierto sentido, la evidencia no es realmente lo que fundamenta sus creencias. Puede que el contenido de la creencia no sea tan importante como la identidad social que proporciona. Hay poderosas fuerzas cognitivas que nos seducen haciéndonos creer lo que queremos creer, lo que la gente que está a nuestro alrededor —aquellos a quienes conocemos y en quienes confiamos— quiere que creamos"-Lee McIntyre, How to Talk to a Science Denier: Conversations with Flat Earthers, Climate Deniers, and Others Who Defy Reason
