Get an opinion from a Skeptic

20 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 03, 2018

"The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
Carl Sagan

I realize in advance that this service will be offensive to many, I am happy to hear your constructive criticism and am putting this out because Simbi is becoming a bastion of pseudoscience and there needs to be a counterbalance.

I identify as a scientific skeptic meaning that I accept facts based on the evidence laid out by science. This is very different from a denialist who when confronted with evidence will find a way to reject it such as those who say climate change isn't real or the Holocaust never happened.

Skepticism typically deals with topics such as: Alternatives to Medicine, Critical Thinking, Cryptozoology, ETs & UFOs, Frauds, Hoaxes, and Conspiracies, Junk Science, Paranormal, Science & Philosophy, Supernatural (including the claims of religion).

What I am offering is a second opinion on how a good or service holds up in the realm of science. For example:
- Planning an expidition to Loch Ness to look for the monster?
- Looking into an alternative to giving your kids vaccinations?
- Thinking about sending money to a televangelist?
- Wondering if the world is controlled by Reptaloids?

Potentially running an idea past me could save you a lot of money or even the lives of yourself and others. I am very flexible on how to go about this, I would also be up for helping out with critical thinking or simply a philosophical debate.

I can preform this either through a call or by messages.

Training & Qualifications


I studied biotechnology in college and have worked in scientific fields all of my professional life. I ran the local skeptics group for 4 years and engaged with scientists and philosophers from all over the world and engaged in activism against targets such as Sylvia Browne, antiabortion activists, and homeopathy.

About Lören Price

I grew up on a farm and went on from there to study Biotechnology and currently work in the hydroponic fertilizer industry. My expertise is in the technical side of agriculture specifically in the... areas of chemistry, plant physiology, and a little microbiology . Fertilizer formulation is my real area of expertise and I have created 40+ products that have made it to the market. I have enough general formulation knowledge to be of service with other types of formulations as well like food, cleaning and industrial chemicals. I also have knowledge of automated production lines and fertilizer regulations as well. For hobbies I brew craft beer (with emphasis on obscure and historical styles), as well as collecting vintage T-shirts and boxed set CDs. I'm as science geek and tend to be interested in anything from astronomy to geology to molecular biology. I am also interested in history, culture and religion (purely from an academic standpoint). show more
